Lee, Matt, Thank you for all the replies. Very helpful. I did look at David's site and now I'm totally confused. Let me quote ... "Libretto hibernates to the end of the drive space that BIOS can see, i.e. at 8GB without overlay. If you don't want to use an overlay program, you should make the first partition within your Libretto with fdisk and reserve about 100MB right after; otherwise, the hard drive will be corrupted when it does BIOS hibernation. If you use overlay, you can simply leave about 100MB at the physical end of your hard drive during the overlay installation." ... David If I understood that correctly, if I **don't** use EZBios, I have to worry about reserving space at cylinders 1010-1040 which should be around the area of the 8GB limit. However, if I **use** EZBios, it would just dump it at the end of my drive at the 20GB physical limit and all these discussions of cylinders shmoe would be academic. Right? Or just to be in the safe side, just block of both cylinders 1010-1040 and 100mb at the end of the drive? BTW, could someone describe to me how to block off these on EZDrive? I will only be buying my hard drive over the weekend and will see / use EZDrive for the first time only by then. Just feel free to butt in wherever I'm totally clueless ... 8-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] blah, blah, blahed ... >I'm starting to wonder whether Oliver (remember him?) is still awake after >these posts :-o > >Lee Assuming majority here is from North America ...
