Guess I'm not going to be installing W2K on the 120GB HDD... You guys have been talking about how overlay isn't necessary for W98SE/2KXP to see the entire >8GB HDD on the Libbys. But we've seen problems pop up now with no overlay installed. Using a new partition on the 10GB HDD to install W2Y, and using the 120GB HDD set up with NTFS for data storage seems the best option at this point. Still... WD now has a new utility for making >30BG HDDs work with BIOS limits: WD Data Lifeguard: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1101&p_created=1066951455&p_sid=EEBFizhh&p_lva=1101&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9Njg1JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9c2VhcmNoX2ZubCZwX3Byb2RfbHZsMT0mcF9wcm9kX2x2bDI9JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9JnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9ZHJpdmUgb3ZlcmxheQ**&p_li= And a manual installation without partitioning: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1224&p_created=1088534211&p_sid=EEBFizhh&p_lva=1101&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9Njg1JnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9c2VhcmNoX2ZubCZwX3Byb2RfbHZsMT0mcF9wcm9kX2x2bDI9JnBfY2F0X2x2bDE9JnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9ZHJpdmUgb3ZlcmxheQ**&p_li= Matt --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
