What? I use the Barracuda 18Gb HD on my 2000 w/Tekmagic 060 combo accel. The sys "boot" partition is 300Mb the others range from 4 to 4.4Gb. I may end up merging some partiones and adding to there size but if there is a failure it may be a little harder to restore the drive. ALWAYS have an up to date emergency boot disk around!;)

@ xaccrocheur

I think I know whats going on here. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use GVP's prep utilities, it's old junk, use HD Tool box for this. I belive thats where your incompatabilities are comming from. Preped and formatted one way and trying to patch in another. I gave up on these utilities long ago. Warning: This is a pain the first time you switch but don't give up, you'll be rewarded for your efforts

@ Kurt

I've found GVP stuff to be OK. The utilities are definitly real cxxp. Kill them before they spread. Forget that old software. They work just fine w/HDTools.
