Yea, Hopefully the driver setup will work. I don't know which drivers I should use. I dled the WD driver Utilities, Sii, and Diag. I dled the ASUS MB drivers but did not put them on a floppy yet. Also should I use WD utilities or WinXP to part and format? I know you said to use Gnome but It should be a simple parting so I'll go with 1 of the 2 above. Since I've used them before but would still like your opinion on them.
I'm glad you agree with my partitioning idea. That should work. Before I burnt up my 250GB HD. I had Win C: drive 118GB and the rest on D: and still had 25GB free space on C:.
Thanks
