Large HD problems?

Hey all, There have been multiple posts I've read on this list saying that for some reason HDs over 250 GBs and drives that are 250, have problems with Linux. So is this true at all? I've been thinking that with my Birthday and Christmas coming soon (Birthday is in 5 days, Christmas is 25 days after that) I may get money or some gift cards for a store and may buy some extra HDs as even though I've had a computer for 5 years now I've never actually had a computer with more than one HD in it and I'm thinking of what size to get. -Allen.
