Your BIOS doesn't support LBA or does 200GB surpass a limit to the LBA implementation? I remember the wall at 8GB, but I don't think I've ever installed DOS on more than a 10GB. All that needed was a new enough BIOS with LBA support and maybe "yes" to large disk support prompt in FDISK, which I think came later after 6.22. For software solutions, both Seagate and WD have bundled Ontrack and similar with the retail versions of their HDs. If you don't have a recent utility CD, they can probably be downloaded from the HD vendor's sites. They are usually crippled to work specifically with the source vendor's drives though, so hit the right site. Never had to use them myself, so can't vouch for the results. .\\ike
