Nope. There's a chance it will be recognised by HDtools as something entirely different, but just correct those figures until they represent the correct values.

For example: I have had an 20 GB drive I used for testing showing up as 60 MB. After partitioning (which took a while to figure out), it worked without problems.


Nice, that's good news as I can get my hands on some cheap drives but they're all 37GB. Have to purchase a 50pin to 68pin adapter though but they're pretty cheap :)

Thanks for the NFO Jiffy, just worried about the power adapter but will find out tomorrow when I give it a shot :-)

And for e7.5 you could get the superior A600 with the built in IDE-interface

a500 & a600 are pretty much on the same par, the built in ide is not as good as a gvp (probably not even as good as an a590).
