-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'd like to put a 60GB hard disk into Gateway 2000 Pentium 150 (from '96 or '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 the full capacity of the drive? I seem to recall that the trick with large hard disks and old BIOSes is to disable the drive in the BIOS and let the OS detect the disk itself... is this the case with FreeBSD as well? Thanks. - -- 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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/JUKPF8Iu1zN5WiwRAihMAJ4oSLuXZhXZbArb+BWlzGgCZfDI5gCfW3FP uU8qAcCRq4L0O/CL1hXQrYA= =ZkEQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
