Yes, I subscribe all David says; I have an IBM Travelstar 40 GB in my 100CT, partitioned into C: (8.0 GB), a hiden partition -with PartitionMagic- of 80 MB for hardware hibernation -see later-, and D: and E: with half of the rest aprox. Latest BIOS update (8.10), EZ-Drive overlay for reconizing such a large HDD (Ontrack DriveManager overlay didn't work well for me), and certainly 64 MB RAM, if not, forget it! Be much careful about the hibernation issue; I didn't know the existence of these 2 types of hibernation, until lately I ran into a disastrous hardware/BIOS accidental one, which corrupted the Partition Table, and caused me a real nightmare! Best Luck!
