But when I install it on the new Seagates, it installs; however, on the first boot to complete the installation I get an error message, for example, "GRUB Loading stage2, Read Error" or "....Loading Stage1.5 Error 18".
Could it be that files in /boot/grub lie on sectors beyond 128GB?
And those of *Ubuntu before that?
That'd be the same class of problem as the 1023 Cylinder/8GB problem years ago.

Very interesting.... How do I find out if this is the case? fdisk? And how to solve if the problem is this barrier. I use the whole of the 160GB of each HD for MS6 with one (sda) split into ~159.5GB at the beginning of HD for (/) formatted in ext3 and the remaining for swap[1]; the second HD (sdb) is totally used for data (and is mounted as /data). BC [1] I have 1.5GB of RAM and have never had to create a swap partition of more than ~400MB in the past because swap is never used. -- Great Man reaches complete understanding of the main issues; Petty Man reaches complete understanding of the minute details."
