For Windows 98SE and ME, you need a PCI controller card to use an EIDE
hard
drive larger than 137GB without risking data corruption. The drivers for
the
controller card enable large drive support in the operating system,
while
the card itself provides the hardware support needed for the PC to
recognize
the full drive capacity.

Interesting, thanks.

WD Lifeguard s/w and Fdisk only let me create a partition of 137 GB max.
the rest of the HD goes to waste. screwed by the mfgrs again.

(I am now wondering: is the 128G [137 if you're a drive mfr.] limit in
older
OSs the reason there are still quite a few _new_ 40 and 80 G drives on the
market?)
