  Whoops! That was lucky.

  My new motherboard gives me a choice for the Conner drive: normal or
large. I happened to write down the previous numbers (I accidentally
printed them out and stuck them on the inside of the case), so I
made sure it was using those numbers before I let 'er rip.

  Is there any advantage is using the "large" numbers on the drive?

  BTW, I think Paul showed great courage in swapping motherboards and 
OS without backing up the hard disc.
