Same as above, What is the max hard drive size Windows
98SE supports, based solely on the operating system.

The maximum usable hard drive partition size under Windows 98 SE is
128 binary gigabytes (2^30 or 137 billion bytes). That gives a
partition with a 32K cluster size and with 4.1 million total clusters.

Scandisk and Defrag will not work with larger partitions than this.

Disks larger than this, if they are supported by the hardware, must be
partitioned into two or more drives so that no single drive is larger
than 128 binary gigabytes.

Hope this is the information you were looking for.

Good luck

What is the largest drive Windows 98SE can access over a share from
another machine running server software capable of using bigger disks?
