Hi all,
I recently put a 120GB drive in a P3-500, and was very happy to see the BIOS
correctly set the disk size.
When I tried this setup:
hda1- 15GB FAT32 for Win98
hda4- extended partition
hda5- 1GB swap
hda6- Rest of drive ext3 for Suse 9.3 pro
everything went well through the windows setup until I tried to reboot, I got
a disk I/O error. So I put Suse in, thinking maybe grub/lilo [I tried both]
would solve my problem, but no good. Suse boots perfectly, but Win98 gives a
disk I/O error.
I had thought the Win98 partition had to be smaller than 137GB and a primary
partition and all should be fine. Anyone have any insight?
Thanks,
Nick

Nick think of this as a great opportunity: Partition your drive into
smaller chunks. I use a pair of drives whose combined space is about
1/5th of yours and I partition the drive with portions going to /; /usr;
/var; /home; [swap]; /database; /web; /opt; /software and at least three
windows partitions....
If windows cries when it sees more than 8GB; then create multiple
drives(windows partitions)--although I have, on another box, a windows
partition about 20GB large...
