Does this mean that I have to use SCSI to do a partition on a different harddisk if
I intend to install linux on another different hard disk?Currently I'm using only
one hard disk with two partition (linux /win), I dunno if the way were the same for
installing linux on another extra hard disk that I intended to buy .In another word
I dunno whether I should use SCSI or fdisk to configure new partition after I had
bought and installed the harddisk .
Kindly help me out.
TIA.
rgrds,
yfu.
