Hey all, sorry I didn't register. But anyways...

Does Windows Me have a maximum hard drive amount you can have? I heard that it was around 120 or 128 GB. And according to some guy on EBay...

Windows 95 B.98 (8.5gb-32gb)
Windows 98SE/ME (UP TO 64GB)
Windows NT/2000/XP (UP TO 128GB)
Apple, Linux, UNIX (UP TO 138GB)
Pentium II(equivalent or higher)

I'm not sure if any of his information was correct. Please help me out! Also, I heard that Windows XP has a max of 200 GB. I definitely need some clarification...

Thanks,

Purpose

Well, this time I registered. But I forgot to say why I was asking about that question. I currently have a 60 GB IEDE hard drive in my Gateway Select.

IBM
Capacity: 61,460,676,608 bytes (58,644 MB, 57.2 GB)

Well, I was wondering if I could get another 60 GB hard drive, and if it would work as a slave drive, for a total of around 120 GB? Thanks for the help!

Windows ME uses FAT32 (like windows 98, and windows 95 OSR2). FAT32's maximum capacity is 2 terabyte (so my windows 98 installation can live on for many years to come!). Windows XP will only create/format up to a 32 gigabyte FAT32 partition, but it will be able to read larger ones. Linux/Unix run on a plethora of different filesystems, although linux will generally run on Ext2 FS by default.

Yes... and since they are on separate physical drives in your case, it will be fine anyway.

You will of course end up with two drives (C: and D: of 60gb each... or you could partition them into more drives (your existing C: and then a D and E drive of 30gb each, for example)

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
