Hello,

I've got an ST318417N in a SPARCstation 5 and need to format it (yes, I =
want to re-write the bad sector list) and write a label such that =
Solaris will recognise it and allow me to partition it. Apparently =
there's a patch around that will allow format to recognise more than 256 =
sec/track?

Anyone help me out there?

TIA,

--Rob.
