I can't see why else you would want to take a perfectly : good 8GB+ disk and use it as a 2GB drive. Of course, some of them may : not even tolerate that much space. I've retired perfectly good systems that can't handle having a 600MB disk connected to them. Anything over 540MB seems to give it fits, although I suppose that a BIOS upgrade would help. I couldn't even lie to the BIOS and tell it that the drive's geometry was such that only 540MB would be used.
