[AccessD] Using a 160mb hard disk

Sorry. I do it either way. Fresh clean install and/or upgrading to a larger
hard drive. 

I entered this thread a little late.

1. What are you doing, fresh install or upgrading? 
2. Do you want to:
	A. use the HDD as your primary HDD w/o any partitions, clean/fresh
W2K install?
	B. use the HDD as your primary HDD w/o any partitions and ghost a
partition back onto this drive (keeping all 160GB as C:\)
	C. Create a 40 GB (your original HDD size?) primary partition, and
ghost your original HDD (as a partition) onto this partition? leaving the
rest of the HDD as storage drives.
3. Do you have a copy of Ghost or GhostPE?

I'm confused.  You take a system, put a new large hard disk in it as the
disk 0, put a rev0 win2k setup disk in the cd and do an install?  All this
"ghost" stuff is obscuring the picture of what you are doing.

Clean windows install. I usually ghost with a cleandos.gho file then install
W2K which prompts if I want to delete a partition (which I do). I then
create a new partion (20 to 40 GB) then format it (NTFS).

I then ghost my last HDD image onto that new ghosted partition. once boot
up, I can create partitions and format the rest of the HDD from within W2K.

Was this a clean windows install on these hard disks or adding them in to an
existing system with Win2K at least SP3?

John, I've installed a 200 GB Western Digital HDD and a 160GB WD HDD in two
separate computers with no prob. The 160 was partitioned into 3 partitions,
I forget what I did with the 200 GB. Both were on AMD systems using an ECS
K7S5A motherboards. Its probably a motherboard/BIOS issue.
