I purchased a new / faster HDD because my original has some issues that I can't seem to fix. Although the original drive has a bad cluster and is just fragmented it still works. I'm thinking of making it the slave and new / faster drive the master.
My question is: The people at my local computer repair shop said my MoBo may only support HDD capacities up to 80Mb. My old drive is a 40Mb and the new one is also a 40Mb. I don't need the storage space but I hate to through away the old drive. So, if the above constraint is true does it matter how many slave HDD are in my system and if they total 80Mb or more?
