Misprint earlier - I meant for the subject line to read 8 rather than 10GB I updated the BIOS on the Micron Millennia MME machine. Still can't get past the 8GB barrier. There's a way to partition the drive so that I can use the entire 10GB, yes? I seem to recall doing that in the past but don't recall how I did it. Would I need to use a drive management utility like Partition Magic to create another extended partition (the 2GB that's not being seen by the BIOS) Thanx again for your help Joan Rapier [log in to unmask] Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://nospin.com/pc/pcbuild.html
