Hi, has anyone tried to upgrade to a 20Gb HD on a 560z lately?
I followed the thread from back in 2001 and tried using DiskManager2000 from
the IBM support site but I get error messages whenever I try to boot from it
on the 560z. It comes up with 'file not found' and proceeds to tell me about
.sys files that are missing from the boot disk I appeared to make
successfully on a desktop pc. (When I do explore floppy on the desktop btw,
the files are there!) IBM's HDFitness reports my HD as being fine and all
20Gb are there.
This is all a result of dos not recognising more than 8Gb by the way - same
old problem.

Many thanks if anyone can stop me from going mad!
