Therefore, if

Too

HARDGEN asks you for the head-by-head
assignment of
each

for
the physical

number,
the
number
of the head on which the logical drive

The

How fflany
heads
to use?
Enter
the number of
heads to allocate to the logical
drive
You
cannot allocate
more than
4 heads to the drive, Other than
that, you can. allocate as
many
heads as you want, from the
starting
head
to the ending head of
the logical
drive. For
example, if
me starting
head
is
Head
2,
you
can
use
as many
as 3 heads, which are
Heads 2,
3,
and
4
If you have
a
15-megabyte
hard
disk,
the disk has 6 read/write
heads
per physical drive. Since you
can allocate
only 4 heads
lo each
logical
drive, allocate
the
2
extra
heads to
second
logical drive.
