I have just bought a 90 gig hard drive. When I installed
windows 98se it only sees 32gig, why is that and is there
anything short of a full operating system up grade i can
do to utilize the whole 90 gigs. Thanks for any insight.

This is a problem with the version of FDISK that ships with Win98. An
updated version is available that will handle the entire disk, look
