I got the partition overlap messages, which I ignored, and I used the LBA settings. It worked. When I setup in SuSE 7.0 I let it detect the disk. I just set up my partitions using YaST2 and ReiserFS and let SuSE do the rest. Worked great. JLK On Sunday 31 December 2000 05:32, Sean Akers wrote:

Thanks guys. I've read the HOWTO and it looks to me like I need to put the new HD in and not enter it into the BIOS. The kernel will then automatically pick it up and know the correct size. Is that right ?

-- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
