You tell me :) It should, but I don't have any good way to test it. > Why was the assertion thrown? 10 heads is greater than 0 and less > than 63 heads. 10 sectors/track seems like a reasonable number. parted and fdisk guess at the CHS values differently. You can't compare the 2. The assertion was because parted's guess was outside the allowed values. Thanks for your help, Brian -- Brian C.
