although I couldn't move a W2K disk from my 390E to my 600E, 
I now (after bios upgrades? different phase of the moon?) 
find that I can install w2k on the target machine. That 
solves my main problem. Thanks for your help getting me 
through this.

I installed on a 6G partition. Having a 10G disk, I expanded 
the partition with partition magic to the full disk (where I 
got warnings that I was over the 1024 cylinder limit and it 
may not boot). Presumably since I was only adding diskspace 
to the partition, no files on the disk were moved. The boot 
process got right to the end before I got a BSOD-like screen 
telling me about disk access problems, viruses etc. I then 
used partition magic to get the disk down to 2G, 
defragmented the disk (packing the files down the bottom) 
and then used partition magic to get the 10G partition again 
where it boots just fine.

The 1024 cylinder limit is at 7G. Am I going to get into 
trouble when some program tries to rw to space above the 
1024 cylinder limit?

Thanks Joe
