This is only true if the drive has a Mac OS extended
format (i'm not sure about standard).
The original discussion was about a Windows Fat 32
formated Hard drive which for me would not show up on
my desktop at all unless it was smaller than 137 gigs
in any of these OSs: OS 9.2.2 or X 10.0 through
X10.3.9.
I was however able to partition a Maxtor 160 GIG HD
mounted in an Ultra external drive enclosure into two
smaller drives and have both of them show up.
If it is possible to get an external Windows Fat 32
Hard drive greater than 137 to mount on my Mac I would
be gratefull to anyone hwo could describe how.
