I don't know. I just heard that some computer makers are somehow reserving as much as half the HDD for a full copy of the OS to recover from when the normal one trips over itself. I'm guessing that this has more to do with MSFT licensing terms than with saving a buck from not including a CDROM. I wonder if there's some low-level way to tell a modern disk drive where you want "sector 0" to start. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
