TSGL: what to do with a FOUR GIG drive?

[Chuck Neuenschwander]

I "filled" the 80 gig with files (about 76 gig worth)
  then deleted them all.  I set up no partitions.
  Then I ran DriveImage which copied 3 1/2 gig off the 4 gig drive.
  I suppose I should remove the 4 gig, and reestablish the 80 as the main drive
  and turn it on to see if it works. If not, then I know I'm nowhere.
   
  Hey, I got it hooked up, temporarily; jumper switches and all.  
  XP came up and I logged in
  and got to the desktop.  Should be OK.
   
  Turned it off so I can hook up everything permanently.
   
  thanx all, I may be DONE..............     -chuck

when cloning the drive, have you deleted all partitions on the 80GB?
