Overdrive is free and will get you your 22 GB (not 32, a 160GB HD gives only 150GB usable). Place a partition break at the exact 128 GB spot (131,072MB) for safety. <http://mac.profusehost.net/overdrive/index.html> In order to partition this, you'd probably need to use Firewire Target Disk mode and then reboot with only the 128GB partition visible, install OS X and Overdrive and then enable the smaller 22GB partition using Overdrive. An alternate way would be to hack the firmware first, partition the HD, and then keep Overdrive installed for the occasion when the firmware is reset and you need to be able to quickly and easily enable the extra 22GB partition. Here's the firmware instructions: <http://nanchatte.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/128gb-large-hdd-lba48-support-on-the-g4-cube-with-leopard/ > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
