Hi Everyone,

My original query was:

Summary, There is a 2GB partition limit. However, I formatted the disk
without any problems, of course it took about 2hours, but the good news
wat that there was not any problems.

I did however get a few replies saying it was not a good idea to put the 4GB
drive inside the machine. Reason, being was that it potentially would over
heat the machine.

But thanks to everyone who replied
