I don't think I can do that anymore. I "fixed" the heads/cylinder and the
sectors per track and reformated the drive.

At home it did boot, but at my computer at work it does not want to do boot.

Anyway, as soon as i get home I will try to assert the dos compatibility
flag, just in case. but it is no longer the same system.
