There are a couple of ways you could:
1) Create a new disk of 600 cylinders starting at cylinder 8222 - it could be 
on a new user ID or an existing one
2) Move the TCPIPV 191 disk "back" 600 cylinders by changing 8822 to 8222 
(sounds like a finger check!) - but this would require copying off any files 
you currently have on that disk, reformatting the disk at the new cylinders, 
then copying the files back to the new disk.

No, you could also just leave the gap there and use the cylinders later (or 
never).

Hope this helps.
