Has anyone used a large HDD, like 32gb or more, successfully with OS4.2? I know I can't use partitions larger than 4GB, but I would like to use a larger drive and carve it up into pieces if I can. I might just have to use the first 4gb, but that would be OK.
*edit*
I shoulda put this under a hardware forum, oh well :P
