OK...what's happened is. Maxtor say that if your bios doesn't support such a large drive - that I need to put the drive in another P.C to remove the DDO. But that's far easier said than done. I'll have another scout about on their site. I tried formatting it whilst on my own P.C but it still shows up as only being 33 gigs. I have had Maxtor drives many times before and they have always been great. I went for one again because of the ability to simply clone my old drive instead of reinstalling windows xp again.

I'll keep persevering. I was kind of hoping there would be a small utility that simply went.."aha, a drive that has DDO, I'll simply wipe it clean". things are never that eays though eh?

Many thanks for the replies so far.
