Where do you get EZSetup?

It gave me a funky error before the machine started the bootup process. Yank
the drive out, it boots fine, with a boot disk.

I've never seen a drive this large available for the 755 series, except with
some aftermarket modification. I was wondering if anyone had a software
solution. Maybe EZBios?
