Hi Franklin,

I haven't found one yet with W3/4/eCs/MCP with recent drivers [Dani's by 
preference]!
Unless it only affects HDDs larger than 80GB - current *IBM* drivers 
have a limitation of 512GB.

I think Kris is confusing the problem with Laptops pre-configured with 
M$ OSes that install into Cylinder 0, head one, not cylinder 1, head 1, 
that don't allow IBM BM to work as designed.
