I had exactly the same problem installing onto that type of drive. I had to escape to a shell and use "fdisk" to partition the drive rather than "cfdisk". It seems that cfdisk has out-of-date routines for seeking to parts of an IDE drive that are beyond the 2.0 Gb range. "fdisk" does not share this problem. It is less friendly than cfdisk but at least it works. Hope this helps. -- Douglas Bates [EMAIL PROTECTED] Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison
