Thank you, and the other contributors for compiling THE best guide on the internet for the 120 gig HD upgrade. I did a tremendous amount of searching, and this is the only one that explains hex editing in such detail.
While I was searching, I unfortunately found out that Promise SATA cards don't work with Hddhacker. Because I had no choice (I have a Promise SATA 300 TX2 plus), I tried it anyway, and Hddhacker does not recognize that there is a hard drive attached. Here is a quote from The Specialist on another forum:

And last: as you might know from flashing DVD firmwares: sadly not every chipset works perfectly under dos. If you have a Promise SATA chipset for example, you most probably won't get it working anyway, even if you try to add ports manually. That chipset is just doomed
I just thought you might want to add this information. Thanks again!
