Howdy,
I have a new Seagate 400 GB HD I'm trying to set up on Win98SE with FAT 32.
I'm trying to make 3 133 GB partitions on the drive (to stay below the 137GB
limit for any one partition). System is an old MSI K7 Pro (MS-6195) w/ a
900 MHz Athlon slot A. I'm able to make the three partitions using Seagate's
partitioning program that came with the drive when I have the drive on my
primary master.
However, when the drive is on the secondary IDE cable the third partition
is messed up. In the disk partitioning program it says that the partition
is a FAT 16 partition (it's not), and in Win98SE I can't see the third partition
at all. I checked the drive on another Win98SE system (also old, Iwill XP333
with a Athlon 1800+) and couldn't see the third partition there either.
Any ideas what's up? I should be able to see all three partitions in Win98SE,
correct? Is it the fact that the boards are so old? Could it be a problem
with the drive?
Thanks for any help.
