Win 98 SE and 40 GB USB drive : only 6 GB visible ..
Hello all,
I've recently put a 40 GB drive in an external enclosure with an USB
connection, but have problems with using the drive.
When I try to partition the drive (using the standard W98se FDISK) it comes
back as a a drive of only 6 GB (which probably has to do with the 32
GB-limit). Applying a number of patches related to drive-size problems does
not seem to have any effect (although I could just not have applied the
right patch(es) ...)
I've allso tried a version of "efdisk", but it showed my drive as having
Zero cylinders (and would therefore not accept any partition-size input (I
think) ...).
Any insights and/or pointers to what I should do (before I go and tinker
around in the MBR with an Hex-editor and see what I get) ?
Regards,
Rudy Wieser
