I'm putting together a Win98 system with a IBM Deskstar 80GB harddrive. But I have a problem, been so long since I had Win98a large drive I can't remember having any partitioning issues. I'm installing it in a Athlon XP system with dual channel DDR.
FDISK is only seeing the 80gb drive as 12 odd gigs. The BIOS recognizes the the whole 80 and so did Partition Magic 5. I was thinking when you enable large drives with fdisk (on the Win98 boot disk) it could handle up to 90 or 120gb. I'm pretty sure I had this drive running Win98 before I upgraded to WinXP. Maybe I used another drive utility, I can't remember it's been so long.
