A while back I sent my  computer to a shop to have an 8G hard drive
installed and was told that my mobo would only support a 6G one. The
6G  one was installed and it was partitioned into three 2G  partitions.
 From a recent message in this list it appeared that one could install a HD
larger  than the mobo would normally  accommodate if it were partitioned
into smaller partitions (smaller than the maximum that the mobo would
normally accommodate). Is this really true? If it is true, could I have
installed a 20G HD and partitioned it into five 4G partitions? As  you can
tell, this recent info has me confused.
