Pre hard drive install question

Ok, it should..

Remember to keep the first partition within the first 4GB if you decide to go that way..

I'd suggest using PFS3 or SFS instead of FFS on the disk - you'll end up with lots of problems with FFS..

If you want to be sure it works, try to copy it 100% full of stuff and test whether that stuff still works. (yes, it's a tedious job :-)

Umm, basically all you need is to have a bunch of files that you've made md5sums. Then you fill the disk and verify the checksums of the files.

That way you can see if the OS / ide driver wraps around at some point.

I personally haven't used that big disks on classic hardware, so I can't 100% surely say that yes, it will work without problems.
