I'm not sure what you mean by "unix and x windows".... I'm not sure if you're talking about a dual boot machine, or some version of linux running a GUI, in which case I'm not sure why you would seperate the two...

And what are you asking when you ask how to "connect" the drive...

Please clarify!!
