Really large hard drives

2003-08-09 Thread David Johnson
I'm building a new computer next week, and the current harddrive sizes are simply huge! I'm planning to triple-boot with WinXP/FreeBSD/Other. Are there any BIOS/booting limitations I need to worry about with drives over 100GB? Any other issues, tips or pointers for drives this large? Thanks...
