A long time ago, I added a 200gb drive to my MDD powermac... So, I have a stock 120gb (Came with mac) and now a 200gb drive on the ATA|100 carrier.

I just ordered a 400gb seagate drive and am not sure where to put it. I think I have 2 ATA|66 slots available but don't I have to partition the drives there or did Apple 'tweak' their systems to accomade any size drive?

Or, do I have to play musical drives and move the boot drive (120gb drive) down to the ATA|66 slot?? Any help/opinions/comments appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Mike
