Len, This is a confusing issue. Depending on who you talk to they will tell you NT has an 8gig limit on drives. I don't know if this is IDE only or what. Dell, Micron, and Gateway TS and sales were all saying this. Then gateway started shipping a 14.5 gig EIDE with an NT box. Their TS indicated that they got a special driver to hack around the problem. anyway the drive arrived partitioned in 7 FAt16 drives. I delete 6 of 7 drives and recreated a single 11.5 gig NTFS partition with no problems. I could not confirm or deny these statements anywhere in the MS knowledgebase. I don't know of anyone who has personally done this. moral, be careful, the thruth lies outthere but I can't tell you for sure if thats true or why? Seems rather illogical to me since 9.1 gig Drives have been used in servers for years.... Can anyone else add insight here.... Sean
