I believe that SE partitions can go up to 120GB (saw that somewhere), but limitation does not have to be on Windows, but in BIOS.
I got an old Gigabit motherboard which supports only hard disks smaller then 40GB. After updeting the bios, it supports hard disks up to 60GB, which did not help me with new 120GB HD I planed to add to that computer. :blink:
Kon-Tiki,
if that's your main hard disk on that computer, start win98 installation from the CD, and at the blue screen, where you have to select computer settings, hit F3 two times to exit installation. Try to format MRB, type fdisk /mbr. Then use fdisk to create partitions. Restart computer after that, do the same with installation and exit with F3 key, then format all partitions you have made. (make sure you format C with /s parametar.
I usually copy Win98 folder (using just a copy command, not xcopy - you need only files from Win98 folders from the CD, subfolders are not needed) to one of non-system paritions, and then run setup.exe from that directory.
