lol, i've got roughly 20 gb of data on it. ..unless i can borrow an extra 20gb drive from somebody??? lol no i did not have to use that s/w. matter of fact all newer hdd's do not require that (or cannot even use it). most of the hdd's or already preformat anyways. when partitioning, i just use partition magic. never had this problem before. i'm guessing (sigh, again) that it's probabely just because it's with the hd.img....probabely something missing between it and the cdrom install iso. (missing driver.....not able to find the proper module settings etc...). *remember! this is a newer model hdd! all of my older hdd's are able to use the hd.img diskette. go figure.
