| Subject: | [amigactive] 2.5"/3.5" hard drives (and a few other Q's) |
Hi all,
I've currently got a 3.5" hard drive in my Amiga, but my girlfriend is moving
in with me and she has a 2.5" hard drive in hers.
Is it possible for me to put that 2.5" drive in with mine? I read somewhere
that the buffered interfaces are not capable electronically of supporting both
types of drive?
If it is possible, I assume that I'd have to use the 2.5" drive as the boot
drive as it has no Master/Slave jumpers, and then set my 3.5" drive to Slave?
Also, is it safe to change the partition names in HDInstTools and NOT lose the
data on the partition (as it says when I select Save Changes to Drive). I'm
sure I've changed partition names before without losing everything but my
girlfriend is a bit apprehensive about it because she hasn't backed up her
data.
Many thanks for any help.
GazChap.
