alright, acronis is what i've heard to be better than PM8. So what acronis product do I need to use to do this? Which one will allow me to change back the LBA setting and all that stuff, because when I changed that it changed the Disc Size!

Maybe I should call maxtor? which I would really prefer to fix it myself!

Any help is appreciated!
BTW, can you run SATA and IDE harddrives in the same computer? What about a conversion cable from IDE to SATA? Just a couple of thoughts, thanks everyone so far
