Be VERY carefull with these types of utils. If you ever have trouble with the drive it will be difficult or impossible to recover unless you know exactly how the utility works and how it effects how Linux and Win. see the drive. With both Win. and LILO potentially mucking around in your MBR you really don't want another utility digging around in there too. It's much better to try to get a bios update for your motherboard or a controller that has a bios built in. For Linux you can specify the geometry directly if you must. For Windows, you may need an update from MS to get it to deal with large drives (depending on what revision of Windows is being used) even with a bios upgrade. -- Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] or ray AT sonictech DOT net
