I know I could use LBA mode. I originally used LBA mode for months but noticed a couple of possible problems. I say possible since I can't prove they were caused by using LBA mode.
1. My drive seemed to fill faster as if the files were using more space than they should have. I have the same install using 450MB that was using almost 600 in LBA mode. 2. After about 4 months in LBA mode programs began to report missing files. When I checked manually the files were there. And I started getting reports of the file system being out of sync. As I said. I don't know if it was LBA causing these problems but I haven't had it happen since I went back to normal mode. Has anybody else noticed this? Or does anybody know for sure LBA didn't cause this. If so I could just switch back to LBA mode and forget it. Thanks to all for the help. On Fri, 25 Apr 1997, A. M.
