Hi Lawrence, The 30.6Gb Seagate hdisk works with SuSE 6.4 - no formating problems etc. The only problem was that the drive crashed after only 3 weeks. The issues with this drive are vibration & temperature - be sure to use a dedicated hdrive cooling fan ... be warned! I replaced it with a 30 Gb IBM - a wonderful drive... -- Best regards, Des Aubery... (adTherm Technologies, East London, E.Cape, South Africa) Lawrence Sayre wrote:
I've just ordered a new Seagate 30.6 Gig EIDE (UDMA 66, 7200 RPM) hard drive, and I would like to know in advance how many megabytes (or gigabytes) it has within the 1st 1024 cylinders, so I can start planning how to partition it for Linux, DOS, OS/2, and Win98.
Any thoughts on partitioning are also welcomed.
