Both that and the link you posted bring up a different page, from MSFN, titled "Board Message", and containing (start extract) Board Message Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information. The error returned was: Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available. You are not logged in, you may log in below Your account username Your account password (end extract) (I don't know how that's come over; I thought I was writing plain text, but OE thinks different!). Anyway, the indication is that it is definitely MSFN, rather than anything local to me, that's blocking the access. Is it possible that you are a trusted person (or IP) by MSFN, and thus not getting the message? Given the tiny size (~14k!) of the files, maybe someone could post them somewhere else? |

Hard drive larger then 120GB question
OK, here it is
it can't be done w/o MSoft updating 98 SE 98 simply does not 'see' beyond 120 GB, non addressable. when i arranged to format in win 98 SE a 250 GB HD, i ran into scandisk and defrag problems right away; and when i started to fill up the HD beyond 120 GB and ran out of 98 addressable space, it over-wrote the old Saved files with the new Saved files. Thus, making life difficult. get the PCI HD extender card and a bunch, 6, of 120 GB HDs if you want space and 98 SE. if you use a HD 120 GB just format it to 120 GB and think of it as being usable later when MSoft reduces its price, cleans up and protects an OS beyond 98. 30% of all computers still run win 98; why doesn't MSoft realize this and revamp it leaving out the spy and phone-home crap? I'd pay $25-35 for such a CD. ssome "J. P. Gilliver" wrote in message ... "98 Guy" wrote in message ... "J. P.

I've installed 98se on a 160 gb SATA hard drive, formatted as a single partition, with 4 kb cluster size (resulting in 40 million clusters, way beyond the stated maximum of 4.17 million clusters). You are right about windows defrag and scandisk - but you can get the windows-me versions of those and they work just fine on win-98. Dos scandisk works ok as well on a 160 gb drive. Once I installed win-98 on a 160 gb drive, I repeatedly copied a 40-gb directory tree containing 1 gb DVD vob files until I filled the drive. So I want past the 128gb point on the drive and no corruption occurred. This is because the drive was attached to SATA port-0 and controlled by the on-board SATA controller and NOT re-mapped as an IDE drive. If Win-98se is using it's native ESDI_506.PDR to control your hard drive, then you can't use a drive larger than 128 gb. That means any IDE drive larger than 128 gb won't work unless you obtain a modified ESDI_506.PDR. If you have a SATA drive, then the drive must be used in "SATA" or "RaID" mode, not re-mapped as an IDE drive. |
