A Tech from Seagate told me that partitioning the drive wouldn't get
around the 137 Gig limit. I thought that was "one" reason to partition
a large drive (yes, I know some folks had rather partition them anyway).
Was he correct?
BTW, today, somewhere on-line, I saw a 300 Gig Seagate for $79.99.
That's what I paid for the 250 Gig.
When did Seagate acquire Maxtor?
Thanks,
Jim
