Can anyone point me to he hard drive thread we had awhile ago?
I've searched the archives, but can't find it.
It's the one where everyone piped in with their experiences with

Hi all,
I dual-boot to Windoze and Mandrake 7.2. In Windoze, the

installation? Why not just change video cards to accomodate Linux since

intend to use all the time, or one that you intend to keep. Use FIPS and
you're welcoming any and all problems that you can imagine on your

Tom,
Tell that mis-understanding part to one of my 3 HDD's on my system. Used
FIPS on it once a long time ago when I was new to Linux, and it hasn't
