Hi Kevin,

  You may be looking at acontroller problem rather than a drive or OS problem as
I am presently operating using the Maxtor 120 GB 7200RPM Ultra ATA/133 drive in
my system, where I have multiple partitions inclusing eCS 1.1, Os/2 Warp 4 and
WinXP. No problems with the installation and I have a JFS 93GB partition.

Cheers/2

Ed.
