Re: Need recommendation for PDA

1, to my knowledge, it's in no way possible to access anything over 120
Gbytes. Some people state that, with multiple partitions, you can - IMHO,
this is not true (I've tried it very hard to partition it this way). I have
the latets BIOS.

2, yup, I have BT too.

3, you mean migrating from RC1 to the final version (in around October or,
at least, next June(?) when RC stops working?) MS, IIRC, stated you'll need
to completely reinstall the OS; that is, simply upgrading won't work.
