Hold down the menu button while it's booting up to bring up the upgrade CD menu, of course. Note that I've not tried this. You're probably limited to 128Gb with the version of Linux on there, though. And you'll probably want to get a low-noise disk (the new Seagates are pretty quiet). _________________________ -- roger

Isn't there room in that beast for 2 drives? In terms of internal volume, yes. There's only one IDE bus, though, so you'd have to disconnect the CD-RW. _________________________ -- roger
