..with the side-note that having been formatted with EZ-BIOS doesn't necessarily mean that EZ-BIOS was needed to access it. I performed a similar operation this past weekend with MaxBlast on a drive the BIOS could handle; it very nicely did a standard DOS-type partition and format on the drive.
After much consultation George and I have pretty much concluded that his BIOS is perfectly happy with the 80GB drives. It's Win98 that was having trouble.
