    no. The compaq sounds like it is simply too old to recognize the actual size of the drive. Which brings up the same question as always: "your compaq"- could we perhaps have a little background on what "your compaq" is? How big is the drive, etc.

          do you have the windows 98 CD? if so insert it and change it to "D:\win98" (of course, replace D: with your CD drive)

                I think it's because you assume MaxBlast works on ALL HDD's.....it doesn't.

                  No...it doesn't.

                  Run it on a newer WD HDD and you will have another 3 pages of hard drive issues...

                  Why are you so obsessed with using maxblast all the time anyway? why not partition and format without some vendor specific tool written for a different brand of HD?
