Music Experience > http://launch.yahoo.com Use drive setup in the installer CD's utility folder to initialise the drive. You can then install the OS. If you were to use a larger drive over 2 GB you would have to divide it up into multiple 2 GB partitions. This is a 'feature' of the 5200/5300/6200/6300. Using a faster 7200 rev drive helps these older Macs perform better, the stock drives were slow. Steve Bell -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
