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)

    LOL! A tweak job!

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
