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

Hard drive larger then 120GB question
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 ...
