Hi,
Question about +512GB drives on v1.2R. Can we boot from +512GB? Or do we need to only have it as a secondary drive for data volumes?
My small form factor chassis only has enough room to handle a single hard disk comfortably without over heating. I really want to use a 2TB drive but, I am starting with a 750GB for initial testing.
Please help...

Let us know how it works out. It says you can't in the IBM DASD readme, but I read somewhere that it works anyway.

Hi Blonde Guy,
Yes, I heard it works too... But not like I want it to. I heard in a post by Roderick in early January 2009 that it will work for a mix of eCS and MS Vista. So I am lead to believe that the eCS still only sees the up to 512GB and Vista is on the rest. So that really does not help me. I am using VMs of VirtualPC/2 and a mobile Samba server and a recovery partition for recovery of NTFS and FAT32 drives for tech services for clients. So really I am hoping for 1+TB in a small portable chassis...
Thanks and I will keep posted on what I find...

I haven't installed to a 1TB drive, but I am booted off one. Instead of installing, I zipped my current installation and unzipped onto the new drive. Works fine and all 1TB is available.
This is on a box that has ONLY OS/2 installed :)
Cheers,
Paul.
