    The 100GB drive in my nw9440 is getting rather full :-(

    And yes, I do need all that software installed :-(

    I'm thinking in terms of the 200GB Hitachi 7K200, but

    1) Will the hardware and BIOS support a drive this big?

    2) If yes what setting should I use for the HDD-Translation BIOS setting? Bit-Shift or LBA-Assist?

    Thanks
    Dave
