I have a question - more hardware. But I have an older machine, dell pent 233 and I installed a second harddrive 40 gigs for sole purpose to back up my freeBSD (4 gigs) so I can practice installing/destroying :). But I can't make a copy using one file. I have to break it down into 6 files. Each apr. 600MB. Can this be a limitation of the bios or hardware in general? I am starting to think this is why corps use tape back ups? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Golding" <kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk> To: "Questions" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 4:27 AM Subject: IDE HDD errors on boot/mount > Yesterday I added an extra DIMM to my machine and since then I've been > unable to boot to the second drive.
