Also, with a 300GB drive, you need to make sure that your OS is capable of
handling it. Win2000 can only handle it with SP4 or better, WinXP with SP1
or better. Are you just adding it or using it as the basis of a new OS? I
can help you (having had recent experience with the same problem) if you
want regardless of your answer, but would rather only answer one, not both.
