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 |
