I am having a problem with a Fujitsu hard drive, model MPF3153AH 15.27GB,
the bios will not recognize it. It worked when I purchased it but not after
I fdisk'd it.
I bought it off Ebay.

I have checked Fujitsu site, there is an issue of not recognizing over 8.4
GB, but even
after I manually type in the cylinders, heads and sectors I still get Hard
Drive Error.

I think perhaps the OnTrack (On Track) Disk Manager for Fujitsu might help
as it might
tell the bios the disk is larger than 8.4 gb. They want $40.00 for it, and I
am wondering if
I should just trash the drive or if anyone happens to have this manager and
they would
share for me? I thank you for any help you can give me.

Carol
