Thanks for the reply--the pdfs were very handy. The old imac also shows the titles messed up grrr... I'll need to fix the div scroll thing. Thanks again. Emlyn

I can't run os x tiger on my silly imac. Anyone see any obvious bugs on this site in Explorer/Safari/etc.? www.ixwa.com Everything seems to work fine on PC browsers. Any input would be much appreciated! Emlyn ixwa Creative Services

Yep, I'll use a different product next time! Thanks for the info. Emlyn

...exactly what you did. Do you think it's because the boot HD aboslutely MUST be primary master, even with cable select on? But even beyond THAT: ***MY*** system thinks the "free allocated space" is only 7.8Mb!! If it thinks that there IS free unallocated space, then that space could ONLY be...

Siiiigh... even the simplest things seem to be elusive. Well, I did find some sort of BIOS version (in the BIOS, not the startup screen) which said: BIOS VERSION: AO4 I rarely ever see the startup screen that includes the system info unless I'm doing an ALT-CTRL-DLT thing (I think??). Got a...

Except for setting up the HDs as primary master and slave, and setting anything in the BIOS (all this would have been set to AUTO anyway and all HDs are set to Cable Select), I basically followed every step of what your friend is suggesting. But what has me REALLY confused is that he recommends...

...I UNDERSTOOD all along that the BIOS would only see 20Gb as soon as I cloned the HD (I saw the warning too), but what I DON'T understand is why *none* of the partitioning software that I've tried can, as miray puts it "add the gained space on the disk via some partitioning tool" after it was...

...not knowing what I really needed, all I got was the model number and some other spec data (bytes per sector, logical CHS...). Is there something *specific* I should be looking for about the maxtor HD that I need to enter in the BIOS? Freestone: Yes, everything in the PC is set to cable...

Ugh, I know. Doing it all over again is certainly a possibility, but right now I just have so much work to do that I can't afford to not have a working PC. I think when I have some down time I might try all this again...

Actually it works just fine, but the problem (yet another one) is that the new cloned hard drive is basically STUCK where I replaced the other one--for some reason the Dell brackets were a VERY snug fit and >>>believe me<<< there's no way to get this thing out: I've tried! lol In fact, the...

...(from memory--but I'm pretty sure this is correct): IDE Controller [Both] PCI IDE Bus Master [On] Primary IDE Master [SONY CD/DVD drive] (*see below for explanation) Primary IDE Slave [Seagate 20Gb HD] (new cloned drive) Secondary IDE Master [None] Secondary IDE Slave [Maxtor 250Gb HD]...

...version or I'm doing something horribly wrong, but I know a thing or two about computers so I'm sure I'm not missing anything in the BIOS. I'm *really* reluctant to try anything like flashing the BIOS or doing any other PC acrobatics because the machine is operational and I can't afford to...

I did try that user setting in the BIOS, but it didn't give me anyplace to "plug in the numbers". I looked in some of the other settings that became available when I changed it to user mode, but I didn't see anything relating to specifics about hard drives. The only option available to me was...

In IDE setup it gave me options like these (from what I remember): None User Auto Atapi Non-Atapi (I think??) Other ...soething like that, but it certainly didn't give me any additional window with detection options... The Dell system I'm on is a Dimension 4400, 2Ghz, 1Gb RAM, XP home. I can...

...size so after saveing&exiting I attempted to restart numerous times but each time got the "Error Loading OS" screen at boot. I reset it to Auto. *But*, I did find out a few interesting things during my research: 1. The original OS boot HD was set as the secondary master, not primary (a...

Yeah I also tried using Maxblast 3 to do all this but it won't let you select the boot disk--no doubt because it's in use... I'll try the manual setting in the BIOS.

Hmmm. I did exactly all of the steps with HDClone (although I certainly didn't specify any "first 40"--I just cloned the whole of the original drive and it worked just fine. I guess one of the problems is that I don't have the full version of Partition Magic, just the demo version (which does...

...and turned it back on. Everything works fine, but the system STILL thinks it's the old 20Gb disk and every software app that I have used cannot *see* that there is another 60Gb of free space! The BIOS only sees it as a 20Gb drive, so it's no wonder the partition apps think this too... I...

No, when I checked the BIOS it still thinks it's the old 20Gb drive size. I was hoping to simply resize the partition but it sounds like this is a tricky thing to do if the OS is installed on it.
