    Imagine how many partitions you'd have on that! I find 4GB about the biggest usable partiton so that's be 19 different partitions! Your CD-ROM would be drive w!

    Online shops are so crap! I just spent a most productive half hour looking for a HD and the largest I could find was 17GB! And that was the only shop that had them at all! Mouse, Modems, Memorey, Scanners, printers but no damn hard drives!
    Assasins do it from behind.

    Huh? Every site I go to do big hard-drives, I have problem finding small 7200rpm ones actually. Try www.scan.co.uk or www.aria.co.uk, they both got the 30gig maxtor 7200rpm bd for about 140 sterling. A very good price for that spec.

    best deal I saw in Ireland was 349 for a 60Gig HD. 'Bout 5 squids a gig and you don't have to bother with exchange rates or shipping and could return the thing easily if it went wrong. Only problem is I used to go out with the owner of the company's daughter and he dosn't like me frown.gif

    There's always something frown.gif
