Re: [UUG/MLUG] Hdd's?

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well I'm usda having Linux and Windows (or other OS's, BeOS, FreeBSD, etc)
on one drive so I have no problem with that. Am just not sure how Windows is
handling the drive w/ this lil program that seems to run before the OS and
how Linux will handle a drive bigger than what the BIOS knows how to handle.
I'd just test it if I had a good backup of all the data and reinstallation
disks but yknow how M$ CD's tend to creep away and they are to expensive to
just replace. So I hafta ask and hope someone has tested it. :) Of course if
anyone wants to donate a second 18G hdd to me I'd be glad to have one for
Windows and one for Linux. :)
