Default Hard drive larger then 120GB question

The next logical step was to see if the WD s/w for 137GB will
work on other mfgrs HDs. i tried it on a Maxtor 30 GB HD by
partitioning it into 2 parts. It worked. It did give a
disclaimer about a diff mfgr when i selected the HD to be
worked on.


The software in question is usually some version of On Track's Disk
Manager that has been customized for a given manufacturer's drives. I
have some Samsung 160 gb sata drives, and the WD or Seagate versions
of Disk Manager (AKA Disc Wizard) refused to work with the Samsung
drives.

Seems that Maxtor was merged/bought by Seagate. Which means that the
Seagate Disc Wizard would probably work on large Maxtor drives.

For $60, you can buy the real thing (for use on any drive)

Probably available on a torrent too.

I loaded Win 2000 Pro, so that i could buy h/w and s/w that works.(not as
bad as XP)
kept the old computer 98 SE.
it was an interesting tech challenge trying to force things to work in 98SE
