Eddie, Maxtransfer is set in the HD's "Rigid Disk Block" using the HDTOOLBOX program. On the Conner & Maxtor drives, this should be set to 0x1FFFE or some such hex number. At least, that's the case on the 1200. You can get at it through the 'advanced options' button of the partition drive screen. Note that it has to be set on all partitions, not just each spindle. Then you save the changes to the drive. It's generally safe to do that, if you don't touch any partition size parameters. I'd look at the Maxtor first, the stock Seagate should be OK. Jim
