HDST PC Drive utility allows you to format the drive into separate volumes in OSX that fool the original controller into seeing the entire capacity if you format the drive into smaller partitions. IE, say on a 160g drive, you use HDST to make a 120g partition and a 40g partition. N'ya, n'ya. Remember Mark, what happens when you assume? As Tony Randal once said, you make an ass out of U and me...heheh.
