SO QUESTION: My assumption for the 128 GB limit in
W98SE is
the FAT32 table or something similar. OR the limit may be in the BIOS.
BUT, is there any way to overcome the 128 GB limit and use the full
160 MB of the drive?
It's a 28-bit LBA limit which is definitely present in Win98 (though I
think the OS can use larger drives, SCANDISK and DEFRAG don't understand
larger LBAs). It often also plagues the BIOS, which means at the very
least you should have a boot partition less than 128 GB.
