Depending on the age of the system you're trying to do this on, you might achieve success by turning on LBA mode in the PC's BIOS. If that's not possible, I believe Maxtor drives of that era had a "cylinder cap" jumper that made the drive pretend to be smaller (32Gb, maybe?) - you could try this, too. -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
