1. I bought, what I thought was, a new 7200rpm 40 GB Maxtor HD. When I opened it I found a quantum fireball instead of a Maxtor. Did I make a mistake by installing it?
2. I have an asus CUSL2-C MB with P-III 733 HZ processor, and win 98 OS. Right now, I have the new HD as slave to my old 4 GB, 5400 RPM HD. I used the setup utility provided to partition and format new HD. Which, following the recomendations left me with a single partition of 40 gig. I then transfered the information from my old HD to the new HD. Before I remove the old HD and set the new HD as primary master I want to know if this is ok to run it this way? Any information would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Larrye
