Re: [users] big IBM harddisk
Dear Martin, I've tried this '32 Gb clip' and it does allow me to boot using my 40 Gb, but i've been unable to get access to the last 8 Gb. I've been experimenting with the 'hdx=c,h,s' parameter but all i can get are screens filled with all kinds of hdd related errors rangeing from 'bad superblock' to 'seek error' and loads of others. Have you found a way to access the full drive capacity?

Have you found a way to access the full drive capacity? no, i have said to myself that 32Gb is enough anyway. i am not a gamer, nor an mp3 person, and i won't fill 32Gb anyway, especially since this is like my fourth system. but hey, i have nothing on that drive right now, so i'll spend some time tonight to figure it out, okay? martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \ echo mailto: !#^.*|tr * mailto:; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- windoze nt crashed. i am the blue screen of death. no one hears your screams.
