RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ4r drive upgrade: 30 >> 40GB?

["Jozsef Szilagyi" <j.szilagyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I yust changed one of the 30 GB drives with a 40 Gb one (because I can't
find a 30 Gb HDD in any of local stores. And the new 40 Gb yust working fine
(of course only 30 Gb is used).

I don't know if matter or not, but I upgraded the bios some time ago to a
newer version (The old bios revision number was 2.3.35). The new rom
revision number is :

[root web]# cmos -c romrev
2.9.37

Actually I don't want to change both of the drives and to resize the
partitions.
