Just going from my experience. I recently installed
Linux on a 1.2gb IDE
drive. Then I fdisk-ed and removed all partitions. Then formatted and got
same NO ROM BASIC. This is the drive I used the low level format on and it
has been working great with no problems since.
Hi Paul,
Have you done that?
fdisk /mbr
You done exactly right on everything except LLF which is big NO
No on modern drives, potientially losing it!
And I did not reach for LLF stuff when I converted back from linux to
any OSes on *ANY* hard drives.
