John and those of you who might write to give me the same helpful
information.
Thank you very much, but there are problems with compatibility of larger
hard drives and older PCs. I did buy Partition Magic and have needed it to
"see" the first 8 gig of my 13 gig hard drive, but due to the aging of the
system, I can only see those 8 gig, by partitioning into 2 gig virtual
drives. It will not "see" more than 2 gig at a time, nor will it see more
than 8 gig total. I suspect that there is some way to jury rig my PC to take
advantage of all 13.5 gig, but there are limits to what I will do for
something I will not use for an awfully long time. I don't care what they
say, I never had this problem with my Commodore 64!!! :-> Guys, do you think
we can talk about something a little less embarrassing, like the need for
Bob to make TMG into a 32 bit program!!

All kidding aside, I intend to move this hard drive to my new PC that I will
eventually purchase some year or two down the road. Thanks for thinking of
me, anyway.
