How do I repartition a drive that had NT4 on it so that I can run WIN98SE?
I have 2 gig avail at FAT32 and 20 gig I can not access

A disk that has a partition of 2Gb was probably originally created as FAT16,
which is the only form of FAT that NT understands. That would explain the
partition size of 2Gb, even though it may have been converted subsequently
to FAT32.

Windows does not have tools for changing a partition size, although
third-party utilities are available. The simplest option is to clear the
disk and start from scratch.

When you run FDISK you must answer Y to the question about large hard disk
support. If you don't allow large hard disk support you will be limited to
FAT16 which has a maximum partition size of 2Gb.
