2 HD IBM 60 GXP 40gigs (RAID0) PB for partition

[fkawill57]

Hello !
Is there any problems for partitionning my raid 0 with 2 HD with 40gigs each under W98SE. What's the 64 gig limit under W98 and the 128 gig limit under W2K.

Ack where did you pick up 60GXPs from?

correct me if i'm wrong - isn't it when your raid your hdd you can't partition as a regular hdd.

I don't buy the HD yet ! Sorry for the mystake ! They will be available end of the month.
The problem is still philosophical or perhaps not....!
I read in the promise forum that they was a limitation under W98SE with the partition lenght of 64 gigs max under W2K it was 128 gigs. So I want to know before buying the 2 HD if I could have problems and perhaps couldn't use the 80 gigs of my Raid0 array. What is this limitation . Is it for one partition or for the entire harddisk ?

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to create mutiple partitions in a RAID setup.

Dude, you won't have a problem with ONE 80GB partition under 98SE. When you FDISK it will show something like 6-7GB (80-64=6). Don't worry about it, just FDISK as normal and when you install 98, it will see the entire 80GB drive.

Make sure you flash your BIOS to accept the new size of drive.
