You can use Partition Magic to change to one large drive - make sure you
have the latest BIOS, the earlier BIOS may not support over 7 GIG on one
partition.
I think you should go with 98 for compatibility, there are many devices that
do not work with the later OS's, especially your DVD player on the ED.

Subject: 770ED questions
I am new to this list and I thought I would dive right in with some burning
TP questions I have had for some time. They all concern a 770ED (PII-266,
288 MB RAM) running Windows 95.
1. I have never understood why my 8 gig hard drive came set up as two
separate drives: a 6 gig drive (C) and a 2 gig drive (D). Is there any way
to set the drive up as one 8 gig drive? Are there drawbacks to this?
2. I recently bought a CD-RW drive that finally requires me to upgrade from
Windows 95. Does anyone have any advice about upgrading a 770ed? I was
planning on upgrading to Windows 2K pro or ME or maybe just 98. Was
wondering if anyone had
any suggestions or knew what OS is the most stable and hassle-free on a
770ED. I imagine this upgrade question has been talked about endlessly on
this list so if anyone can point me to the relevant discussions in the
archives I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan Lizza
