160GB Partitioning - Linux Setup, Configuration & Administration

[Kamlesh]

Hi,

I have got a new Seagate 160GB Harddisk (ST3160023A). I need to make
my PC to have Multiple Operating systems with a Multi-boot menu in the
startup. The OS should include:

1) Windows 98 SE
2) Windows 2000 Advanced Server
3) Windows 2003 Eval Edition
4) Red Hat Linux 9.0

What would be the best way to partition my harddisk to accomodate all
the above. I also need to have some free drives where I can store my
DATA + PROGAMS + MUSIC + MOVIES that can be accessed from all the
above OS.

Some of the Operating Systems are not recognizing the full disk space.
Please let me know what all Software Drivers/Updates I need to use in
all the operating system to make use of the entire 160GB space.

FYI, I am using Intel 845 Chipset (Pentium 4 - 2.4GHz). My RAM is
DDR-256MB.

Thanks,
Kamlesh

Thanks for the information.
I have installed Intels Application Accelerator.
In my Win2000 Computer Management -> Disk Management Option, the drive
size is shown as 149.9 GB. Is this correct? I was told that this
harddisk is 160GB, then why am I shown 149.9GB in Win2000?

149.9 GB = 1.609539e+11 bytes which is roughly 160,953,900,000 bytes.
