Re: G5 help
Mark FYI : Whenever you change or replace the processors on a G5 ; you have to reaccelerate the fans that is the thermal calibration I am speaking of. It has nothing to do with Operating system, computer specifications, and so on.

Since I'm using an ATA controller PCI card that overrides the limitation, I'm not inclined to experiment on my current setup in my DA Dual 533 under Leopard ... well not any more at present.

OverDrive allegedly will also help partition the new drive, so your first partition is a 128GB one ... in case you lose the LBA48 property, and need to run OverDrive again ... avoiding writing anything past that 128GB limit ... that would most likely mess the partition up, or corrupt a file (my experience). Reread use of s Single Drive versus using 2 ... it recommends using overdrive for a second HD, since you have to be booted into the first one to run it. I'm thinking I'd clone my current OS X onto a spare 80GB, and use that as my OS X drive (never having to worry about the LBA48 limitation). Then I would run OverDrive and install my 500GB drive as a second HD ... partition it with 128GB as a first partition, and then the rest as I needed. I think that's how it might work best.
