Thanks for the info so it would be a problem with the 2 Gig drives.
Actually I am lucky with the drive select pins as the 365 hd connector
does not go near them.

Well it looks like some of the problem is generic to using phdisk on
several laptop lines. Unfortunately the version shipped is older than
other versions. I wished you could disable the bios error about
the partition.

Now the problem I have is Boot Manager will not recognize my
linux partition. I thinking it is due to it being near the end of
the driver (over the 2 gig point).
