I have two hard drives: The master HDD is 6 GB, and the slave is 20 GB. When I installed the 20 GB hard drive as the slave drive, I installed the EZ-BIOS overlay software that came with the 20 GB drive, to overcome the 8 GB limitation. It has worked just fine.

Booting Between 2 Different Hard Drives?
Have fun! Joel Hmm. I guess different people find different things convenient. My dual boot (Boot Magic) is very convenient for me. I think I read somewhere that there's a limitation of 4 primary partitions per hard drive (or 3 primary and 1 extended), but I've never needed to go for more that 3 OS's.
