David, Lee, Matt, Again, thank you for all your comments. I will be purchasing my hard drive today and will probably install it tonite if I do have the time. I may not be able to respond immediately since my computer will be down but will let you guys know how I fared after a day or two.

I would set up the entire drive as one FAT32 partition with >EZBIOS, install Windows, then install partitioning software and set it up as >you'd like. Just avoid hibernation before re-partitioning. BTW, how are you >planning to install Windows on a bare drive? I always use laplink cable to transfer the installation disks then install from the hard drive. It takes a while but I can always leave it alone while eating dinner. I do prefer though Matt's suggestion of starting the installation with a smaller partition to avoid the hybernation area completely. Then from there, I will have to find my old copy of Partition Magic 3.0 to setup the rest of my computer.
