Understanding Hard Drives
Submitted by Peter McRony on April 10, 2007 - 6:47am.
Hello guys:
First, thank you for all your help. The use of moka5 has been very enlightening. I have some additional questions, but I will post them separately, so that the subject reflects each one of them and makes it easy for people to search.
About the hard drives:
Hard drive was set with a size of 20,000 MB.
- How much it will take of my real drive?
- Can I resize it to, e.g., 30,000 MB?
- There are 2 drives, a system and a local drive, can I add as many drives as I want? What's the downside of it?
Thanks,
Peter
Hi Peter, To answer your
Hi Peter,
To answer your questions:
- How much it will take of my real drive?
It will take of 20,000MB of your real drive
- Can I resize it to, e.g., 30,000 MB?
I think you can resize it but I am not sure if there is any side-effect. I need to ask around.
- There are 2 drives, a system and a local drive, can I add as many drives as I want? What's the downside of it?
You can have up to 4 IDE drives and 7 SCSI drives. I don't think there is any downside beside you many drives showing up in the LivePC vs one or two drives. Just like on a desktop, it's easier to have 1 or 2 big drives instead or a bunch of small drives.
