About to install new HD.
I plan to install a new Maxtor 80G HD as a second drive in my
Compaq Presario 5000T Tuesday afternoon. I plan to use the Maxtor install software that came with the drive since my Partition Magic is long out of date - I hope I can use it to make multiple partitions. Anything I should plan ahead for or watch out for? TIA Ken |

Check the FAQ about jumpering the new drive.

I just checked "maxblast3" with Google and the download site says
it does do partitions, so I should be all set. BTW, I'm running XP Home. I forgot to mention this in my original message.
