W98 later than 15 of dec 1999?? or m=know where to get one from???

I think, you mean 64GB, but not 46GB.

"Fdisk Does Not Recognize Full Size of Disks Larger than 64 GB"

See the links to the downloadable file at the bottom half of this
article.

BTW, the old Fdisk works with the such drives as well -- simply

quote from the article
Fdisk does not report the correct size of the hard disk. But no problem
end of quote

and no problems to partition the drives using not the absolute values --
but the percents of the drive space.

all you have to do is go to www.bootdisk.com
and get a winME bootdisk.
it will have the updated fdisk on it

who said winME was 100% useless

Almost 100% of the MVPs who serviced MS 98 associated newsgroups when ME
came to market and years afterwards.

Running tri-boot XP/ME/98SE. ME natively provides, without add-ons or
download add-on/fixes to the OS, Direct Draw for your digital camcorder,
great firewire and USB, still support MS dos to some extent, including most
MS games like my favorite Age of Empires all 3 series. ME is my favorite
for no internet-access, stand-alone PCs for computer opponent gaming, video
encoding and subsequent DVD movie burning, and business software. AV
software and firewall not required or needed. Unhindered, out of the box,
ME works great for myself. Just stay off the internet, and infected LAN PC
connectivy.
