Some experiment I did with hard drive read/write speed was 10MB/s write and 40MB/s read, and with a USB Flash drive, it can be 5MB/s write and 10MB/s read.
Also, if I put a virtual hard drive .vhd file in a hard drive or in a USB Flash drive and try a...

Hi,
My PC was running Ubuntu 9.10 with two hard drives installed. I recently installed Windows 7 and I have trouble accessing the content on the secondary hard drive. The Win7 recognizes both hard drives, as I can see the second hard drive on the disk...

Ubuntu probably formatted the other drive using the ext3 or ext4 file system .
You mean Ubuntu 9.04, I presume.

Yes, PATA (IDE) cables are all compatible with PATA (IDE) drives .
Typically, the answer is yes - but if you do it wrong (fast drive, slow cable/controller), it may just run a little slow .
