The version of DM I have has what is called a manual or standard mode or something like that. I believe in this mode you can enter the cyl/head information rather than use the configurations that are built in. Does this mean that any version of DM would work with any drive? The Seagate version would be less convenient with a Maxtor disk but will it still work. Reason I ask is that i might be getting a Maxtor 140 meg disk and I already have a st251 with Seagate version of DM. Will itthe Seagate version of DM work with a Maxtor disk? Can use DM to partition two physical disks (st251 and the Maxtor)? thanks for your help., Mike Wilcox mwilcox@pcocd2.intel.com Intel Corp. Folsom CA
