I *believe* the largest partition (no matter what tool is used) that

Windows
98 can run on is ~137 GB, but if I'm wrong, someone will come along and
correct me.



Here is what Microsoft says

IIRC I think you can have a larger drive but you'd need third party
utilities to replace
scandisk and defrag...such as the Win98 version of Norton.
Of course to install Windows on a large drive, setup would have to be run
with the switch specifying
not running scan disk

I have a 80 GB HDD. I want to install windows 98 in it. Can I use FDISK
command from the win 98 booting floppy ( I have read that for HDD

64GB,
it
does not display correct HDD size ) ? What should be the max. size of a
partition that FAT32 can support ?
