So, I'm getting a seagate momentous (5400.4) for my tablet. I've heard that the tablet has trouble properly accepting the 3.0 gb/s transfer rate and because of that it's necessary to reduce it to 1.5 gb/s. Can Ultimate Boot CD do that? I downloaded the "SSC utility" from the seagate website but it seemed kind of vague as to what exactly that could manipulate on the drive.

Also, I'm considering dual booting vista and ubuntu. In which case, how would I need to partition the drives so that way both OSs can easily access the data on my hard drive? I'm really new to partitioning drives and dual booting so it might be self explanatory, I just don't have to drive yet to play around with it.

Thanks.
