Well, I got it removed now. It seems that I may have to build one of those init thingys again tho. I got a few errors while booting. New thread on that later. :-@ I googled and yea, that is a large drive. I wonder if one that size really even exists tho? It seems something is ready for a drive that big since it thinks that one is. I guess. At least we know now, don't trust a drive when it starts spitting out errors like that. Now I can practice with my new pistol tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
