[AccessD] Using a 160mb hard disk

In the end I used a disk manager program that I downloaded from Samsung's
site.  It created a single partition of 128gb and formatted it in Fat32.  It
appears that it also installed some kind of boot manager somewhere since I
now see something immediately after the bios and before windows boots.

I was unable to get Windows 2K to install on this partition - "blue screen
after copying files", though it apparently can use the partition.  I used a
dos command to convert it to NTFS, and used disk manager to create a
partition on the remaining space and format that in NTFS.

Hi John!
I have read that you need to partition disks bigger than 120Gb in order to
OS manages it properly. What about two 80Gb partitions???
