I'm pretty sure the 120 GB limit does not apply to external firewire drives. It is a limit caused by the internal ATA controller. The Firewire controller doesn't suffer from the same issue. At least I *hope* my understanding is correct, because I've been running with a 200 GB firewire drive for a while now (single partition) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
