Mike, You will need at least an ATA/133 controller I believe, or else the drive will only look like 120 gigs. I wasn't aware of any 8 gig limitation with S900's. I have a 80 gig Jaguar partition on my S900 with zero problems. Good luck. George --- ansberry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I went out to get a new hard drive for my S900 > today.
