Maybe so my HD was full when I had linux. I remeber I could read and execute off of it. But I don't remember if I could write to it. And it was NTFS.

Linux doesn't stably support writing to NTFS.  And I also had problems with FAT32 on 2.4, it would occasionally lock up and not let me access it.  Ext3 is the same, but does it much more quickly.  NTFS is great, though, because I can only read it.

6 cd drives on one computer?

this possible. ide usually does 4 drives, then you have serial ata which can do another 4 (generally) if it is supported, so that takes care of 8. Then you can put the drives in an array, and there are other ways you can put more on. He could have more then 2 ide slots so he might be able to support more then 4 devices with ide.

hard disks, not optical drives, neways hes only got 4 hard drives, so it looks like 2 ide 2 sata, or 4 ide.

120 + 40 + two 20s. = 200 GIGS!

I think muert0 was refering to the fact that deadly7 has 6 optical drives, however you responded with a response in regard to hard disks.  I didn't noticed because I briefly read your post :|.  Or were you not refering to muert0's post?

My computer supports two SATA drives (which I have occupied with 200GB and 120GB drives), and 6 IDE drives (using 2 for DVD and CDRW).

The 6 IDE are provided through 3 IDE interfaces, primary, secondary, and tertiary.  Each can support a master and a slave.

ASUS P4P800E Deluxe.

QuoteMulti-RAID
The P4P800-E Deluxe offers the most complete RAID solution. A Promise RAID controller offers RAID 0, 1 and 0+1 functions with Max. 2 UltraATA 133 ports and 2 SATA HD ports, enabling users to build a RAID array with any 2, 3 or 4 of the ports. With unique multi-RAID function, RAID 0 and RAID 1 array can co-exist.

I was just sayin 6 because I don't really see the point in 6 cd drives.

Let's you have 6 CDs online at once.  Let's say you have a technical library that big.  You could have an application which knows which drive contains the CD of interest.  Users on the network could be provided a single interface point to that library.  To them, it would look like all the CDs are online.

Then, as the library was updated by the manufacturer (usually a law library, or medical library, maybe even insurance), the admin could simply swap out CDs.  The users would always have updated content.

Oh I was not looking at the picture the first time and looking at the optical. Yes that is most likely alchohol, daemon tools, phantom cd, or something else creativing virtual drives, I have 6 optical right now, only 2 are real.
