The WD 80 gig drive should be of zero issue. I use 2 WD SATA 80 gigger w/out issues. If your drive is partitioned correctly - GAG will and does boot it well. My bootup is similar except the fact that I use 2 drives and not one that is partitioned (eventhough I have done the same just recently on 1 WD 80 gig split up in 2 40 gig parts for Windows and FBSD). As mentioned many times in this list, seek the handbook for dual booting.= --=20 Best regards, Chris To err is human -- to blame it on someone else is even more human.
