[ale] Hard drive blues

[Greg]

I found that 
it was easier to put 2 drives in (1 for linux and the other partitioned for 
Win98 and Win2K) rather than try for a tri-booted disk.  I figured this out 
after several hours of trying to get it finagled.

I have also 
seen the jumper settings on the instruction manual to be wrong, believe it or 
not.  You might want to fdisk the mbr as well as the disk before 
using.

Good 
luck.

  blueswell i got this wonderful 40 gig 7200 rpm as said in 
  a previous post. my issue is while i can install ezbios (i suspect a mbr add 
  on to allow the full 40 gigs to show and be able to read this hard disk) i 
  cant get bios to boot the disk, i tried once before to update my bios but the 
  award bios said i was updated. in any case i wish to dual boot this baby for 
  linux and windoze but i cant get it to be read as s sinle, however i can get 
  it read if another harddrive boots an os, and the western digital floppy sees 
  it reguardless what bios says, what should i do? i would return it for a 
  maxtor however this disk is older than a month now and i do not have the 
  box  (was using another hard disk for os's which booted the 40) any help? 
  i checked out the wd site and didnt get any sucess with thier jumper settings. 
  any help would be greatly appreciated!
