Hello Colin,
I did what I THINK you said, with one small exception. the 0x001fe00 kept
putting another 0 between the x and 1, so I put another 0 at the end so there
would be 2 0's between the x and the one. It now has the correct number of
gigs in both places, but still no icon's and no joy in either SysInfo or
Opus. I have been using DH5 to DH9 for the partitions names on my old drive
so I could copy the stuff my old old drive had. This time I started with DH0
to DH4, would this make any difference? Thanks again.
