Don,
You have the right idea, but in this case, you may be in error. I doubt
that
fdisk or Disk Druid would prevent you from setting up the partition
above
1024. The problem really is booting from a partition above that limit.
I really think his problem has to do with the udma66 drive. I am also
unable to set up a boot partition on a udma66 drive, but I can put a
boot partition on another drive and then the rest of the "stuff" on the
udma drive.
I would recommend going to the WD site and reviewing all the info they
have
there on the subject and perhaps look every where possible for more
info..
