Hard drive larger then 120GB question
Hello:
I know that there is a limitation in Win98SE with regard to hard drive size greater then 120GB. My question is, if I put a 320GB hard drive in an SE box but only create a partition of 120GB or less, will I still run into problems? TIA |

Hard drive larger then 120GB question
Thanks for the links guys....
.... so, I guess as long as I don't create more then one partition and make it less then 127GBs in size, Win98SE should have no problems...in theory ..... I'll post back once I get the drive.

Check whether the drive has a jumper to make it look like a 120Gb driver

Where does it say that you can't partition a 240 GB drive into two valid
120s? a 360 into 3 ea 120s? also, we use defrag from win 98 Me, are there other Me files we can use on win 98SE? ssome "USR" wrote in message ...

Hard drive larger then 120GB question
You can use Partitions smaller 137 Gb! If you want to run Win98,you must
install it on the partition at the beginning of the Disk space. ssome schrieb: Where does it say that you can't partition a 240 GB drive into two valid 120s? a 360 into 3 ea 120s? also, we use defrag from win 98 Me, are there other Me files we can use on win 98SE? ssome "USR" wrote in message ...
