| 168816 | 2003-08-21 02:18:00 | Despite what the DSE ad says about DMA66, the leaflet inside says DMA100. The ad goes back to when DMA66 was the in thing, and before DMA100 The only difference between the older caddies pre DMA66/100 and the new ones is the short length of 80 wire connecting cable inside. The older ones will also run at DMA100 as the length of cable is so short, that there probably isnt that much coupling between wires to cause cross talk/data corruption. |

Kiwibeat, Could you please give me some more info on making a partition to do this. Can you make a partition on an existing hard drive without having to go into bios and all that stuff which is way over my 79 year old head ? Any help much appreciated. Heaton |

| 168819 | 2003-08-21 08:05:00 | Hi If you have a removable HD do you need 2 OS's-- one on each HD? | nalla (1386) | ||
| 168820 | 2003-08-21 08:18:00 | Not if you have a hard drive that stays in the machine permanently . You would only need an OS on each if the computer had no fixed hard drive . Usually the removable one would contain (backup) data only and the fixed hard drive would have the OS and programs on it . |
