Hard drive size

TheHunter · 08-April-08, 10:09 PM

Well I have 2 hard drives I got from a server, problem is nowhere on the drives does it say the size of them. I went to the manufacture website and I had no luck getting the info I wanted. So my question is I know some of you can tell by the Cylinder, heads, and sectors what size the drive is so could you please let me know?

Cylinders 16383
Heads 16
Sectors 63
They are Maxtor drives and are IDE. If you could also let me know what the jumper settings are that would be great, but I can just play with them untill I find the right setting.

Thanks
Hunter

A serial or model number would be nice. I dont think you can get size from that info. But then again if you had that info you could probably have looked up the info.

Google says... 160Gb

port-cobalt: 160GB hard drive won't boot (hand-ish install)

Actually, this post is brought to you by beer and port. My Google link may be BS. But this bottle of Port is quite tasty...

why dont you just plugged in your pc & find out?

as for jumper on Maxtor if i remember correctly , i think J50 was for master & no jumper for slave
