Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have XP pro on a Compaq Presario with a Celeron 330 and 512 ram. My H= D got really flakey so I bought a new one - 300G. When I went to install = it, the bios recognized it as a 300 but the computer would only let me parti= tion 125G. A brother here who is a comp. tech. said to go ahead and partitio= n that and get it set up and then use disk manager to partition the remain= ing amount. SO I did ... BUT now I find that the disk manager from Samsung requires you use it BEFORE even installing an OS. I'm HOPING that some= one has another solution. Hugs! ..............
