Hey Daniel,
I'll be looking at another drive. Maxtor sounds good. I've just tried
installing Redhat 6.1 and the installation indicated that the partitition table
is corrupt on hdd.
I juts ran a fdisk /MBR. Hopefully, that will fix it. However, I going to buy
System Commander to keep track of the different OS's on the drive.
