Hi
I have a sparc 2 running solaris 2.6 from a SEAGATE ST 42400N disk
on 3. I also have a Quantum Viking 4.5 GB on 0, which has been "wiped
clean".
I am trying to revive this quantum drive.
When I start "format" , it lists the type of drives. I select "other".
When I am putting in the disk specs, it asks me the number of cylinders. I
put in 6176(-2). When it asks "sectors per track", (I look at the presumed
specs of this disk - it says 126 to 216) and put in either 126 or 216.
Nothing
seems to work. Is there a way to put in the specs so that I can start
reviving this disk?
