When I wrote the message that you're confused about it was very early in the morning here, and at that time I don't even pretend to make myself clear to others. I apologize.=20 How do I go about formatting it with the Grub firmware in place? And since I am leaning towards formatting it with an ext2 file system, how do I go about attaching it to the device name you chose. And then have it come up on the Grub's boot menu boot from the ext2 file system.=20 Yes, that's what I was missing.=20 Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
