[SLE] 40 GB IDE Hard Drive?
Hello Linux folks! I want to install 40 GB Maxtor IDE ATA-66 hard drive on my Linux box. Does somebody know if there any obstacles with Linux installation on this big hard drive? Will Linux see and use full capacity of this drive? Thanks for any information.

I don't used the 40GB hd with Linux, but the (FAT32) partitions on it were correctly detected. So I CAN'T say it works, but it MAY work. Robert. PS: My BIOS wasn't able to detect this big hd :-) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

If your BIOS recognizes the full capacity *and* you use a recent kernel, e.g. 2.2.13 from SuSE Linux 6.3, there should be no problems.
Will Linux see and use full capacity of this drive?
Kernel 2.2.13 from 6.3 or current 2.2.15-pre (don't know about non-SuSE
2.2.14) should be able to handle 40 Gig.
