Peter,

This is great info to know about the current state of affairs with regard
to hard drive sizes. BUT this unfortunately does not answer my original
question - can the program memtioned in the posting with regard to
partioning handle hard drives of VERY lage size, such as you have brought
up in this posting???

Ralph



Ralph, 137 gb is the limit for ATA hard drives.  Maxtor has recently
developed a new interface to extend ATA drives to the 144 pb (petabyte)
range which is roughly 144 million gb.  See more here

a nice 160 gb

Good news considering Huge Systems has released a new A/V RAID setup
offering up to 1.2 terabytes of RAID 3 storage http://www.hugesystems.com/.
