Default Max Hard Drive Size Windows 98SE Supports

Posting this a little late but hope it helps.
The Win98-SE system will only utalize 68Gig
unless you have already made a start up floppy
with the large disk fix installed to it.

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

Ryan


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
