>29.  Are there problems with using Windows 3.0 on large hard disks?

>>  Yes, but only in rare cases.  If all of the following conditions apply,
    you may have a problem:
	- You are using SmartDrive (smartdrv.sys) as your disk cache
	- You are using Disk Manager (dmdrv.bin) as a hard disk driver
	- And either:
		- Your hard disk has more than 1023 cylinders
		- You have partitions greater than 32 megabytes
>>    If this is the case, you need to do two things:
	- Disable SmartDrive
3) If so, what might we use instead of SmartDrive?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
