No, win98 supports at least 120Gb - that's what my secondary drive is.
If there's any limitation it'll be in the fat32 filesystem - and that
alternate fdisk utility apparently supports up to at least 180Gb.
Kat, I know you're a proponent of the older operating systems... any
reason not to run win2000 though? I use it on my other box, and it's a
lot easier to do things with - especially when you are debugging
anything that involves multiple processes.
