Please look back at my first posting, which started this thread. To summarize, it seems like the Snap 2000 (and above) will boot properly if you install a new bare naked drive, and will format it. It also appears that you can add a second spindle to any 1-spindle Snap 2000 (or above) and format it using built-in utilities.

What NOBODY has so far figured out is how to install a larger hard drive into a Snap 1000 and get the silly box to boot at all. I have a Snal 1000 with a 10Gb drive that I would =love= to be able to upgrade using a $100 40Gb drive. I'm less sanguine about paying Quantum $500+ for a whole new unit of that capacity.
