>>"Can't the people with these problems just set up a small boot partition for system files, DOS, batch files, etc., and then set up large workspace partitions up to 1GB ? The drive will definitely perform much better with smaller partitions… Bill, just FYI, the problem is not in the logical partitioning, but in access to the drive at a lower level. Without support for > 1 gig in the controller bios, FDISK can see ONLY 1 gig, so all space over 1 gig cannot be partitioned into anything – the extra space just sits there unaccessable. In my case, I have an upgrade for my 1742 controller on the way. I agree with your suggestion of a small partition for the part of the disk that gets the most abuse. J K J
