Have purchased a 160g HD and plan to start over... I have a Win98 on hd1 and hd2. If I put the new hd in w/o doing any formatting or such can SuSE 8.2 see it and format it and install SuSE? Or, do I need to use the Maxtor install disk with Win98 first? Thanks ===== Stephen W Sarasota, FL "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine ..."

Suse will do it all, unless your bios is too old to handle the drive. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
