Dear All,
Does anyone know if an IBM/HITACHI 120 GB 7200 RPM ATA100 120GXP hard drive would be compatible with Suse 8.2 pro on my Athlon xp 1600+? I have an IBM deskstar that is 60 gigs and I have almost filled it up. I want to add another hard drive as a slave since I have the slot for it. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I want my new one to be happy with my IBM deskstar and to have at least 120 GB.
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,

IMHO the Deskstars are some of the best drives I've ever seen. I see no reason why a 120 would not work in a machine of that vintage. Slap it in and see what yast can do with it. If you put it in as a slave on the same controller it should show up as hdb. Just make sure you don't get a SATA model drive. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
