[G4] Adding HD capacity..

[sr ferenczy]

problem with the driver is that if you ever boot from another drive or 
from a cd, the driver will not be loaded and the rest of your drive 
will not be visible. i'll have to check xlr8yourmac.com but i think 
mike even had reports of data corruption in such cases
