On the diagnostics disk that comes with the machine, select the hard disk format option. It will look at the disk, see that it is not one that it already knows about, and then ask you questions about how many cylinders, etc. the drive has. I put a 1/2 height 40M drive in my 7300 without any problems. Much faster than the clunker 20M that was in it previously. -- Jim Webb "Out of phase--get help" ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jrw
