hi This may be a linux thing but I'm not sure. I would have thought that it would handle this automatically. If I browse the windows directory with konqueror I see discs c,d and e in upper and lower case. The content of each upper and lower of a given letter are the same. What's going on? Also I am about to rebuild my system. When I installed Linux it wouldn't recognise a SATA raid pair and treated them as separate discs. I used NOACPI and it ignored them. This time I will install to the SATA's as separate discs but this will mean that I may well add additional IDE discs later. Does the system handle this. I often copy stuff across from old discs following an upgrade and I usually keep them for a while in case there is something I forgot. This means that discs come and go. Will the system handle this?
