Thanks to all those who responded. Special thanks go out to Tom Lojewski
and Hellmar Becker.
What I ended up doing is manually labeling the disk. I got the "User
Sectors Per Drive" from Western Digital (87.930.864) and determined the
number of cylinders with the formula:
((User Sectors) / (Heads*Tracks))-2 = cylinders.
heads and tracker both = 64
Using this I arrived at 21465 and pluged that into format. Format came
back with
2 backup wu 0 - 21464 41.92GB (21465/0/0) 87920640
then I just ran through the normal partitioning routine.
Everything appears to work fine. No problems writing/reading data. I
didn't do any prom upgrades or patches.
Thanks again for everyones responses.
