Micropolis 1664 Drives Can't Recognize >1024 Cylinders
This article was previously published under Q99185
The Micropolis 1664 drive cannot recognize more than 1024 cylinders
on the boot drive of a server disk.
PC BIOS limitations prevent LAN Manager from recognizing more than
1024 cylinders on the boot drive of a server disk. The Micropolis 1664
drive does its own cylinder translation and it conflicts with LAN
Manager's inability to handle disks with more than 1024 cylinders.
You can get Micropolis 1664 drives to work with LAN Manager by formatting
the drive so that:
- sector mapping is set to 63
- 1024 cylinder truncation is turned OFF
- track mapping is set to NO
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 Standard Edition
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1a
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
