Hi Jack
OS/2 with HPFS is limitated to 64GB !
I just faced the same problem with changing to a 76GB HDD
recently.

I got that patch a long time ago, I did not realize there is a
whole
family of patches. Run whatever PM you have, go to HELP\ABOUT
note the
version, and run the appropriate patch.

I just put an 80G in a 1999 and a 20G in a 1998, both socket
seven. The
98 BIOS cannot handle the 80G. I have not tried to get OS/2 to
see what
the BIOS cannot, yet.

I have moved several HDDs lately and for the first time I used
the copy
function in PM 3.05 to clone partitions from the old drive to the
new.
Works fine. One gotcha - at least for me - the target must be
unused
space; not just unfilled or unformatted but undefined. This is
because
copy actually creates a new partition. It can be inside an
extended
partition. It will be the same size as the source partition.
You can
then resize it to suite.

I have used unzip to clone a ziped OS/2 boot partition to a
different
drive.
