Im using win 98SE currently and I want those extra 8 gigs so I can dual boot with linux fedora. My specs are:
PII 350 mghz (slow I know but it gets stuff done better than my 300 mghz
lol) 128 ram, an agp 2x SIS graphics card (can get more specs if needed), a creative ISA sound card a 40x acer cdrom drive and the 1 40 (32 seen) gig HDD. I could go into more detail but Im feelin lazy lol.
I doubt I missed a partition, I usualy check to see what partitions there are before deleting any, and my BIOS wont even see the HDD unless I set the jumpers on it to 32 gig clip (BIOS just hangs at IDE HDD auto detect).
Oh, another question, can I format those extra 8 gigs as a seperate partition without harming my current partition? Like I said I want to dual-boot fedora and win98se but I REALY dont want to have to reformat my HDD AGAIN, I did that less than a month ago
.
So the hardware monitor is optional? Does it run in windows or is it just in BIOS?
