So I'm getting into the retro scene by building a few 2000-ish computers for a small LAN for me and a couple of friends. I got most parts at home except hard drives with IDE connection.
I keep reading that I can't use a bigger HDD than 137gb, but smaller than that is harder to find. Will it install fine on a larger HDD, just that it won't show more than 137gb, or can't i even install 98 on such HDDs? Is it possible to create a smaller partition on a HDD for 98, and just use that? But how to do that on a computer with no OS installed?
As you can see, I'm a bit confused! I'm not interested in having a big HDD. If I have a 500gb drive that only displays 137gb, I'll be happy. I know there's a patch for larger drives but I'd like to try and not patch my way to making my computers work with 98se.
Thanks!
