Sounds right...if the old drive is 41110 and new drive reads 40021, then the new drive is not large enough. You'll need to get a 60gb or 80gb drive, or find an old 40gb Maxtor, which is just about the only drive that will have that size. Probably a bit risky to go the 40gb Maxtor route, because you could end up with a Maxtor that is still too small.
