Well, it's not so much hell, it's just that my first one is partitioned with 20 gigs doing absolutely nothing, and my other has 10 gigs just lying there. I can't believe that I didn't notice for 6 months that i was missing a total of 30 gigs :S

I did something like that when I was looking for space to install W7. I had to delete the extended partition, make it bigger and recreate all the contained partitions exactly. It was a bit hairy, but it worked.

About a year and a half old and still fast enough to do what I want it to do, but neither Windows 7 nor Windows Vista have impressed me as not all of my hardware works with it. The software doesn't work right either but the main problem is a POS network gatekeeper app that my school makes me run and often doesn't work right even with Windows XP.

Then there's my wife's machine (Win 2000 server), her work laptop (vista?), my son's machine (WinXP/Ubuntu dual boot), my son's old machine (Ubuntu), not to mention the boxes currently packed up in boxes, waiting for me to get space to dig them out and put them back online - that's the two servers and the old desktop. And at least two more cases that don't have operating systems at the moment. Oh, and another couple of laptops, which I haven't bothered to do anything with...
None of those last set are currently working, though, so...

There are also PIII-800/384 and Duron 1.3/256 used by other members of the family, and a bunch of unused 95-96 boxen.
I don't need top of the line hardware. I need hardware that's reliable and will still be functioning after many years.
And I still hope I'll get that MicroVAX 3100/98 one day.

sda1 is the W2K system partition. sda2 is the boot block. sda4 is Mandrake, I think, sda6 is the main linux partition and sda7 is the linux-32 install I keep around in case I need it, typically for recording Morrowind videos. sda8 is Windows 7.

sdb1 is DRDOS. sdb3 and 5-8 are also DRDOS. Maybe I should collate these into a single partition since I'm mostly running DOS stuff through DOSBOX nowadays, but old habits die hard. They have been imaged from disk to disk using DD for about 10 years, so why break the habit?
sdb9 is the linux data partition including but not limited to /home. sdb10 is... actually, I have no idea what sdb10 is. It's not on the mount list. Guess I'd better find out. Anyway, sdb11 is the Windows data partition.
Whoa, man! I have one dead partition, but i know what's on it. :)
The only other extravaganza is twenty cylinders of unpartitioned space just after the first 5 GiB of the 400JB. "Buffer space" to the sides of a single logical bad sector. Prolly a MHDD erase with remap would fix it... but erase isn't a fun thing to do, and everything's living happiliy as it is for a few years now.

PS. Something you might (http://project-future.xepher.net/about.php) be interested in: Seems that last version of VAX/VMS that supported 11/780 and 11/785 was 5.4 (http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/780_install.pdf).
EDIT: Nah, HP removed the more recent installation supplement PDFs. It's 6.2 (http://www.ensta.fr/~muguet/DFR/Modules/cours-VMS/J10/17_OpenVMS_SPD.html).

1 TB (storage for research).
750 GB: Windows Vista (not used all that much anymore. May repurpose).
500 GB: Various Linux installs, mostly Ubuntu.
I have bits and pieces to build two more computers, would if I could think of a reason too. Got a dying Apple laptop, screen and battery are about to go so I may replace it. If I did I would probably install Vista on that as well and then just use the main system for Linux stuff.

That is interesting. I was kind of wondering when they dropped support for it. Finding out when Oracle dropped the original VAX architecture was also kind of tricky.
