March 23, 201115 yr So while messing around I tried to clear the partition table on a WD EARS drive through fdisk which turns out changed the head value from 1 to 255 which screwed up the cylinder count. I used fdisk to manually force the heads value back to 1 and it appears that everything matches up to the other EARS drives now again. Anyone know if there is anything else I need to do to revert back any other bad changes fdisk may have made? I have preclear running on the drive now. Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance unRAID does not care or use the "cylinder count" you did not hurt anything.
