Hi!

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my message and plea for help/guidance. I really appreciate it.

The 500GB drive class is a bit new so I was hoping some brave soul would have been a pioneer and given me/us some feedback. I may just chicken out though and get (much cheaper) 400GB drives - I especially like the Samsung silent drives (I have a couple in a Sun Blade).

Reading all the posts I came away with the impression that the OS needs to be upgraded to 3.4.805 in order to be able to work with drives greather than 137GB - the old 48-bit IDE mod. Is that true?

Thanks for the debug console tip, I'll have a play with that tonight.

I'll visit PayPal on my way out.

Many thanks and cheers!

Nick
