lba kernel hacking for larger hard drive

[dippdydo22]

Sorry for this question, but I am really a newbie to this.  I have been watching your discussion forum for a couple months trying to gather the courage to hack my Phatbox, and I finally did it.  I bought a new drive, a Seagate 160 gb drive, that I am hoping will bring me a few more years of joy!!! 

However, I have read and searched the posts for information about the required lba kernal hack that is needed for a drive of this size to work.  I understand that you need to replace the lba kernel, so it will recongnize the entire drive, but I cannot find any specifics about how to do that exactly. 

Am I really just missing it, or could someone tell me how this is done?  Where do I get the new file that is needed, etc.? 

I have downloaded the Windows Hack Procedures instructions and files and extracted them and am ready to go with this one exception. 

If I couldn't figure out the hack, would the drive work, just without recognzing the additional space available?

Any help you could provide would be great!

All you do is replace the file called "linux" with an lba48 version once the box is hacked to not require a signature for it...

You just have to decompress it... I think winzip can decompress it
