Hard disk Capacity Barriers and Win98. HELP

[Andypickers]

Hi all. Does windows 98 have a problem with recognising the capacity of large hard disks. ie, I want to purchase a 40 GB hard disk and I'm running windows98. Does windows98 have a capacity barrier at which it no longer recognises the capacity of a hard disk.

windows probably doesnt but your bios may, limits are 8gb, 32/33 gb... newer has over 73 gb limit..

it does but you'll never have that much hdd capacity.
you'll more likely be governed by your bios limitations! even if the latest bios for your m/board doesn't see all of that hdd, you can always use overlay software for the hdd to use the drive full capacity!
