Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / July 2003Problem with window recognizing all of hard drive.
I had to replace a bad hard drive which was 4gb. The new drive is 40gb. I ran fdisk and enabled it for large drives and did not partition the drive but when I installed Windows 98 it only recognizes 4gb the original drive size. > I had to replace a bad hard drive which was 4gb.

If this has happened you will need to partition the new drive again then check how you can transfer the data without also transferring the partition structure. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I had to replace a bad hard drive which was 4gb.
