One way to determine the number of sectors per track and the sector size is to reboot the machine and note what information SMARTDRV.SYS displays on the screen. When it loads during the execution of the CONFIG.SYS device drivers, it displays this information as it sets itself up to mimic some of the disk's tracks and sectors in RAM.
