[simpits-tech] harddrive problems

[Mark Collins]

I concur.  I have a 40 gig WD drive in my kid's WIN98SE box.  The
motherboard (Abit) needed a bios upgrade to handle it but after that things
have gone smoothly.  Oh...BTW...the drive is one big 40 gig drive.  (and
scandisk takes a realllllly long time.)
