I just purchased a WD (Model WD1600) SATA hard drive for my Gateway 710X in
order to add a Linux partition plus extra storage. However, upon printing
out their (WD's) installation guide I ran into a little question ie. the say
that either Win2000 or WINXP is required for the drive. Does anyone know if
this is an inherent problem with SATA drives themselves or could it
potentially be one regarding partitioning/formatting software for them?
TIA for any info,
Tom
