Matt, Thank you for the reply. Please see my inserted replies ... >If the HDD is 9.5mm (9.2, 9.4?? I think that's the minimum size for all >large drives these days), then yes. You'll need to remove the spacers to >get it to fit in a 50CT. You'll also need drive overlay software to deal >with the 8MB BIOS boundry problem, and you'll have to set up a small >partition at that boundry to deal with the Windows swap file issue. You can I assume that was a typo error and you must have meant 8GB BIOS boundary problem 8-). >You'll need the EZBIOS overlay software. I think someone had it posted >somewhere. I can send it to you iff you need. I found the software called EZDrive v9.0. Is that the same? If not, could you send me a copy via private email? Thanks in advance. Concerning the physical swap of the hard drives, I found enough info on the net to guide me thru the operation. However, my apprehension still lies in the partitioning setting up of the windows (shouldn't this be hybernation?) swap file. I have 32meg RAM memory on my 50CT and I assume from what I've read on the archives, 2 Gigs (better more to be sure than sorry) is more than enough. On my 20 gig hard drive, do I partition: C drive = 8 gigs D drive = 2 gigs (leave alone for windows/hybernate swap file) E drive = 8 gigs F drive = 2 gigs or whatever remainder Are all these assumptions correct? My big question is where does the "don't touch swap area" go? After the 8gig limit or at the end of my 20 gig? My head was spinning from all the archive info I've been reading and there seems to be soo much versions and different ways. Would appreciate if someone could run down step by step the partitioning procedures to me. My apologies for so many questions and I may be worrying for nothing. But when I start the swap and something goes wrong, I won't be able to get help from the list since the computer I use for email would be taken apart ... 8-0 Thank you again!
