Hi. I'm not at home, I'm telnetting, sorry, it'll be a short message.
Because of that, too, I'm in sort of a hurry to receive any reply. Sorry
if that sounds a little offending.
        I was planning to buy a 10.2Gg Hard
Disk, but I've seen another one, 14.4Gg with good price. I was
wandering if my system will receive it. A few month ago I would not
concern, but after joining this wonderful mailing list I've seen some
posting telling that 16 is a very big size, and that there may be some
problems in the BIOS to recognize it. Should I worry? My system is a
Pentium 166Mhz with 48Mb RAM and a 2.5Gg HD with win98 and linux. I want
to install the new HD and save the old one installed to use as a backup.
        Is there a possibility that my BIOS would not recognize the new
disk's size? I'm plannig to divide it in a 6Gg, a 4Gg and another 4Gg
partitions. That way, my computer will have four partitions:
6Gg, 4Gg, 4Gg, 2.5Gg. What do you say? The system is two years old.

        BTW, this HD is an "IBM 14.4GB 7200rpm UDMA33". Somebody has any
experience with it? Is there anything like "having experience" with a HD
or they are all the same?

        Well, thank for all of You that enlightened me in the past few
months...
