Subject: AW: External HDD / USB question
Hi Christopher!
No headaches neccessary...
Only minor slowdown with Win2k, but make sure to have 64 MB RAM installed!
I can speak only for the Lib 110, where the speed is sufficient, I have
never used a Lib 100.
As mentioned several times before, partitioning is a bit tricky: To
hibernate a Lib uses the last part of the installed HD. If the HD is <= 8GB
and you use the bios for disk access (DOS, Win95, Win98), you will not
notice anything about this. You only will see that the HD size looks a bit
smaller (depending on the amount of the installed RAM).
On other operating systems which do not use bios for disk access (WinNT,
Win2k, Unix) you will see an empty space at the end of the disk - do not try
to use this space, even if you plan to disable the hibernate feature or if
hibernating is handled by the operation system (as Win2k does!)
If the HD is > 8G, best practice is to partition the lower part with DOS,
and the upper part (above the free space) with the non-bios-disk-access
operating system.
regards
Gerhard
