What is the wisdom these days in setting up a new hard drives? Should one
use a disk manager and get the disk partition and formatted real quick or
use the old dos fdisk and format? Assuming that your bios can handle the
larger capacity hard drives.

Is there any advantage in *NOT* using a disk manager?

Thanks;  John
