More info?)
Thanks to all of you for your help. I will check out those links.
I have a Maxtor utility for preparing new hard drives, and if Fdisk won't
work I think that probably will. Actually I'll most likely be using the
Maxtor software instead of Fdisk anyway. That's the only likely issue then,
correct? As long as I can set up an 80GB FAT32 partition, Win98SE will have
no problem with it?
Thanks again.
