Maxtor ships MaxBlast with their large drives. I had to remove MaxBlast once, and got good instructions for removing it from Maxtor's web site. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

That's a function of your BIOS more than anything else. If you've got the latest [c]fdisk and mke2fs, you shouldn't have any problems with it. (You may need to make multiple partitions out of it, but a lot of people say you should split your system up across multiple partitions anyhow.

10 gig Drives W/O EZDrive?
I have EZDrive installed in order to have full access to my two 10-gig drives. I've found a way to run Win NT without EZDrive, but I'm wondering whether Linux (and Win 98, for that matter) needs it to access the drives fully. Do you know? If it's possible, how does one remove EZDrive without trashing everything on the drive? Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA
