I'm glad I replaced the OEM Seagate drive in this QuickSilver G4 with a 160GB Seagate and discovered the InTech HiCap software ($25 US) before I saw this post. (G) The limit of these G4s is 128GB without help. The InTech software allows you to partition a larger drive into several volumes, so long as the boot volume is 128GB or less. (It also allows me to use the 200GB Maxtor drive I got on sale at Staples and installed above the Seagate.) -- Selah! BWms -= Macintosh: about 50 known viruses.
