.Hi all
I sent Seagate the info from hdpram when asking about diagnotics.
Here is what seagate suggested for my hard drive problems

When I tried resetting bios info to choice 3 which was cylinders 833, heads
240, and sectors 63 Then the computer will not even make it to lilo to boot.
I changed it
back to 784 heads, 255 cylinders , and 63 sectors now my computer makes it
through the hardware checks and boots. If I fix this in bios how do I make
my computer work? Should I be fixing this somewhere else?
Thanks All
Linda
