I have an old Nec Versa M/75 that used to have a debian install on it. =
Eventually the hard drive broke and I got a replacement, but I'm having =
troubl making it work. The laptop asks for Cylinders, Heads, =
Sectors/Track, Writing Precomp and Landing Zone. IBM's web site only =
gives the first three. I've tried it with various settings for the last =
two, but I always get "Hard disk read failure" on post. Does anyone have =
an experience or suggestions for this that they could share? I'm stuck =
on it.
