  I have two hard disks.  The 20 meg disk is partitioned into
dh0:/fs1:.  Simcity does work on this one.  My 40 meg disk is
partitioned into dh1:/fs2:/fs3:.  Simcity will not work on these
drives.  Since I can also get simcity to work by starting it from
the original disk(with the hd's mounted), somehow the memory answer
doesn't seem right.  (but then again I am no expert in memory
usage).  I determined which HD partition it would work on by
starting it from the original, selecting load city, and checking
the list of available drives to see what it recognized.
Your experience may vary.
