- | === 4 GB card installation === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Tim has been having trouble getting the 8 GB card to boot so I got a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra 200x card. | + | |

- | Partition table initially showed | + | |
- | + | ||
- | <code>4011 MB, 4011614208 cylinders | + | |
- | 128 heads, 63 cylinders/track, 971 cylinders | + | |
- | units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes</code> | + | |
- | + | ||
- | so in the "extra functionality" mode of fdisk I changed | + | |
- | number of cylinders to 487 | + | |
- | and number of heads to 255 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | partition table then could be made to match Dave's. | + | |
