Just wondering what is the max size of a hard drive Win 98FE can handle.

I am working on a Customers computer and he is interested in upgrading to an 80 GB drive.

Before I order the drive I want to be sure it will work with his system.

Currently he has a DFI Mother board, I am pretty sure the board's bios can handle the drive, i was mainly wondering does win98FE have issues with large drives?

With FAT32 it is 2TBwith the exception of Windows 2000, but I believe the limitation will be the BIOS.

Yep, lil Jimmie is right, if you can see the drive correctly in the bios then Win98 will see it the same way.

FDISK that's in Win98 needs to be updated as it has issues over 60Gb.
