[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1017290, member: 325666"] Well I guess my chips are well and truely p1ssed on .. Got 2 seperate drives in sporting Win95B and Win98SE .. ..and what should have been easy was the installation of Win2000 and XPpro.. For these I wanted to multiboot a 200gb IDE drive .. 100gb per partition.. Spent many hours trying to work out why this was not possible.. Finally finding a likely reason.. The Fffing bios doesn't appear to support such a large (tis to larrf) hard drive.. Restricted to 12ogb max ..it would seem Ok ..I was all ready to flash the bios ...but the Award util claims I have the most recent.. ..and ASUS has nothing later..so I'm stuffed.. I guess I could try 3 drives of 120 gb each ...which would give more OS space ..assuming 98 (fat32) can coexist with NTFS on a dual boot drive .. More expense buying 3 x 120 gb IDE drives ..and no guarantee of success .. This project is fun up to a point ..but now it is just bl@@dy infuriating.. On a lighter note ...the 1 Love concert was superb ...and I took time off to watch it all.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
