TontT, I stand corrected! :o We had the same Idea, but I was in a hurry and totally left out using fdisk. Another option would to look...
Mount the drive as a slave and format. Or just mount the drive if it's going to end up the main drive as master, boot with a win 98 startup...
I owe someone, can't remember who but I think it's either Mattman, Rockster2u, or PeteC, an appoligy! :o A while ago there was an issue that...
