=2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'd like to put a 60GB hard disk into Gateway 2000 Pentium 150 (from '96 or= =20 '97 or so I think) running FreeBSD 4.8 RELEASE. Can anybody tell me how successful this is likely to be? Will I be able to = use=20 the full capacity of the drive? I seem to recall that the trick with large hard disks and old BIOSes is to= =20 disable the drive in the BIOS and let the OS detect the disk itself... is=20 this the case with FreeBSD as well? Thanks. =2D --=20 Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/JUKPF8Iu1zN5WiwRAihMAJ4oSLuXZhXZbArb+BWlzGgCZfDI5gCfW3FP uU8qAcCRq4L0O/CL1hXQrYA=3D =3DZkEQ =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
