Win. 98 Drive Support?
I was wondering if anyone knew whether I could use a Windows 98 boot disk to install Windows 98 on an 80 GB drive? Will the DOS boot disk recognize a volume that big? It is one FAT 32 partition.

You need the FDISK fix in order to use hard drives larger than 64GB. See this Knowledge Base Article.

Dark Nova - research before posting, please?
 You can still use FDISK to partition an 80gb drive without the patch, but the megabyte display will be all wrong, you can use percentages. If you want to have only 1 partition the full size of the drive, just tell it to use 100% of the drive. An 80 gig drive will show up in FDISK as about 12000 megabytes.
