it has worked with RedHat 6.0, 6.1, Mandrake 7.0. But not 7.1. a dynamic
drive overly is software that the hard drive puts in the REAL master boot
record, which allows the bios to access parts of the drive it may be
incapable of doing alone. On another note, I got the info I needed, so don't
worry about me anymore. Thanks for your help everyone.
