Hello there, I got this config in my box: motherboard- Asus TX97E processor-Pentium 166MMX Cache-512kb Ram-64Megs soundcard- SB16 vga- Jaton58P(ET6000)2megs
hardisk: currently plug into primary ide port 1-ide seagate 2.5 G partition as: hda1-fat16 for win95 400M hda2-linux swap 50M hda3-ext2 1.5G hda4-ntfs 500M 2.ide corner 420M hdb1-fat16 CDrom 12x creative infra plug into secondary (ide-atapi) currently tripple booting with ntloader with no trouble at all, linux using kernel 2.0.31 which I installed 3 days ago.. I had just bought an IDE seagate medalist pro6451 ultra ATA 6.4G, I have not tried it yet, before I make any mistake, I would like to ask everybody to point me. 1-where should I put the data cable of this drive? should I move the cdrom data cable to sound card ide controller, and placing 6.4G into secondary port?or 6.4G as secondary master and cdrom as secondary slave?(is this possible?)or are there any other options? After reading thru the cdrom manual, there is a part stating to avoid connecting Creative Infra CDrom drive to the IDE connector of the audio card, it might not be able to achieve its maximum data transfer rate. But it does not tell me how much slower will it be.., any one can tell me about this?what about the secondary slave?will it slows down the secondary master (in my case 6.4 ide hardisk)? 2- I would like to dedicate 6.4G drive for linux, but I have no experience in moving directories, and I do not want to mess up my linux, and do a fresh install, so what is the best way to do it? where can I find FAQ and HOWTO for this situation?Do not ask me to review a certain book, anything about unix/linux is rare here(Indonesia)..:-) Thanks kusuma -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
