On the new hard drive, do not use a primary partition.
Fdisk only ONE extended partition and use it for
logical drives. (Then format.)
You will need to stay inside the limits
of your OS and Bios.
Your CD drive letter(s) will move...

Unfortunately, I've since forgotten how to do it. Can someone help?
