Re:Depending on what DOS version or disk you use, you will not be able to see more than 500 megs. Try getting a DOS disk from www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)
Those versions of DOS will see the larger drive. Older DOS versions do not show drive sizes over 500 megs properly.

Re:yes when you go through setting up ur drive with ezbios, it will notify you that you should install it, in that case you simply hit yes/no .. its not a standalone program, its part of the maxblast program ..

Re:You use the Maxblast utility to install it. That should have came on diskette or you can download it from Maxtor's website.
