Pic of it here: ...

You need at least the service pack 1 to address more than 127GB... The first thing you have to do is to download and install the service pack 2 (service pack 1 is no more available from Microsoft). I suggest you download the complete package and burn it to a CD. This way you'll have it next time......

I would be interested in a right task bar version, the console sits below and sometimes I accidently close it, I dont want it as a service as I like checking on it, tucked away in the corner would be very helpful.

Thanks for the reply, yes it's very stable. just didnt want it to burn out or anything thats all. I would power up my other fan at 7v but that will just add a bit more noise and I dont want that.
