[b]Hi Grzyb, in the past the "Drive Overlay" can be left in place even though you make other updates to your computer. Eventually it could be removed when you are ready to redo your Hard Drive some time later on...
Check the Promise Controllers, they may have a maximum size limit too....

The retail Maxtor 160gb Hard Drive ships with a Re-Badged Promise Controller so it should recognise the extra Capacity..........
Before I decide I'm going to borrow a Hard Disk from my mate.....10gb's or 20gb's and put it in my old Rig.......That has a limit of 8.4gb's from the Bios...........i'll format the space that can be seen then add some data and transfer the Hard Disk to my new system...........If all goes well it will see the extra space as free space and I can merge the partitions with PM7.0..........
If not then at least I've tried and it's the Promise Card!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all your help and advice......
