First of all, thanks to (most) everyone on this thread for taking the time to document this nice easter egg. The process couldn't have been smoother for me:
In the beginning...
Model: 1100 40GB (Seagate)
Software: 3.4.790 (US)
Hardware: 2.0.2
BIOS: 3.4.758
Destination: Seagate 300GB ATA-100 ST3300831A-RK
1) In another PC, I hooked up the 40GB as MASTER and the 300GB as slave (same IDE channel)
2) Using a boot floppy with GHOST.EXE, ran the following command as mentioned earlier in this thread:
ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2 -ir
The whole clone process took only about 70 minutes.
3) Installed the 300GB and changed it to Master. Booted up the Snap and it was recognized as a 40GB drive.
4) Using the SuperSecret url (tm), (
http://mysnapserver/config/debug), I put in
config devices format 10000 /reinit
5) Viola 137GB :-(
6) Realized I need SnapOS 4. Got a copy of it (THANKS AGAIN) and installed it.
7) Rebooted, and still 137GB. Go back to step #4, and
6) Viola 300GB :-) !!!!!
The final result:
Model: 1100 300GB (still Seagate)
Software: 4.0.860 (US)
Hardware: 2.0.2
BIOS: 3.4.758
Now I'm on the hunt to get a 500GB drive to see what can be done. Wish me luck boys, I'm going in :-)
