Well, I know that BIOS wont support it fully. I want to know whether I can boot Linux from it. I also want to know if *Linux* will recognize full 160gb, even though the BIOS wont recognize it. I dont need the BIOS to recongize full 160. I'll put my Linux somewhere at the beginning of the disk, so I just want the BIOS to look at the beginning and boot Linux. In fact i'll be using grub (which will be on the 40gb disk) so I just want grub to recognize it and boot it.
Thanks for the reply.
