Hello,
I upgraded the hard drive on an old P4 that runs JUST MS-DOS 7.1 (i.e. no Windows 98) to a 200 gig drive with a single 200 gig partition. I simply fdisk'd and formatted it. While I used an unpatched fdisk and format, which don't display the drive size accurately, they still partitioned and formatted the whole 200 gigs.
I know there is a lot of information about issues with Windows 98 and drives larger than 128 gigs (Hard drive and partition sizes in Windows 98 SE), but I can't seem to find anything regarding the upper limits of JUST MS-DOS 7.1 on it's own. Is anyone aware of any issues running a 200 gig partition in DOS 7.1? I guess I'll find out eventually, but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has had experience with this before.
Thanks!!
