>> I find it beguiling that no one has tried these solutions. I don't depend on anything I don't have to as a matter of policy. Doesn't mean I won't use it, I just don't feel comfortable unless I can work without it if necessary. So it will be one of the last things I do, if I ever see the need. So far, I haven't. A charcter flaw, but there it is. Not free, though. License restrictions are severe for PM, etc. And how about supporting large HDs? PM wouldn't do it without an upgrade. Point is not that that's hard; just that it's one more barrier to configuration changes, etc. Incidentally, on a totally different topic, I'm puzzled (baffled is more like it). I just booted NT Server on one of my new Celeron systems. Service pack 3, and I have NOT applied the ATA fix, yet it sees the 15GB partition on one of those 17gb Maxtors without trouble. Duh. Oh. Aha. I peeked in Disk Manager, which shows an 8.4 gb disk with 1.0 gb and 15.4 gb partitions on it. Heh heh. Must be Murray Math <g>. Learn something every day.
