I was at CompUSA yesterday getting another fan for my rig, when I saw an 80Gig Western Digital HD for $39.95. I picked it up so that I can save Ghost images. I have two questions:
1) The new drive is only ATA100. If it is on the same IDE cable as my main ATA133 drive, will it slow down the main drive to ATA100?
2) If I wanted to dual boot this second drive on Linux, can I keep a partition on the new drive as a Windows partion so I can save Ghost images of my windows drive?
