| hi Bob,
i have had a 2090 and an st506 drive for about a year with no problems at all.
> If its ok to use these drives, what do I need to do to set them up?
nothing special, i just used the software that came with the controller.

| 4688.2 | More Hard Disk Questions | NQOAIC::NILSEN | Bob @ 264-7017 | Sat Apr 27 1991 00:46 | 21 |
| I have a question about a message I get from the Rd53 I am trying to
run as drive #2 off a 2090 controller. When I CD to dh1: I get this
message.
Error Validating disk
RD53
Key 1881942122 out of range
What does this message mean? and how do I fix the problem.
I prep the disk with :
8 heads
1024 cyl
17 blocks/track
0 interleave
and formated it as one partition. Info showed 69meg.
So what is wrong?
Thanks Bob

| 4688.3 | you need min. 1 cyl OFS | FSCORE::KAYE | where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g | Mon Apr 29 1991 09:34 | 7 |
| The RD53 data looks good (i have a ST225 & RD53 connected to a 2090A
without problems).
I have a 1 cyl partition at the front in OFS and the rest of the disk
is FFS (you must do this). So when you PREP it make sure you end &
start at cyl 2. I'll post my mountlist if you really need it.

| 4688.4 | Bad block number found | TLE::RMEYERS | Randy Meyers | Mon Apr 29 1991 11:51 | 19 |
| Re: .2
A "key" to an AmigaDOS file system is a block number.
The message "Key 1881942122 out of range" means that while the file
system was reading directory blocks or file extension blocks it found
a reference to block number 1881942122. (For example, the directory
block for some file might have said that the file began at block
1881942122.)
The problem is that block number 1881942122 is outside of the partition.
In other words, the file system is inconsistent and refers to blocks
that are not available.
Try one of the following:
backing up the drive, formatting it, restoring it
running Quarterback tools
running DiskDoctor

| Can someone give me the fmt.parms and a mountlist for RD53? I bought a
RLL controller and now am having trouble formatting my drive.
Thanks in advance
