Crap, I think I just made a mistake.

I'm still using Win98 (not SE). I know, I know...but I don't have that many problems, and if it ain't broke...

Anyways, I just took advantage of the 60GB Maxtor deal at CompUSA. On the back of the box it says that Win98 won't recognize anything over 32GB of hard disk space. True? Am I stuck investing in a new OS just so I can use all of the drives space?

False.

Whew! Thanks dude...I'm smiling again.

I believe that Win98 won't let you create a single partition larger than 32GB, so you'll have to have at least 2 partitions on that drive.

I think.

98 will do it, NT won't let you because FAT sucks and you should use NTFS, but since you're only running 98 you're stuck using FAT.

Also false. Nothinman might have been referring to the above post in his own post, in which case I apologize for repeating him.
