W98 'issues' with large HDD?

- Need to upgrade my HDD. Have read somewhere that W98 'has issues with' HDD larger than 60gb.
- Can anybody supply info please, and/or links?
- What if the the HDD was partitioned into smaller 'Disks' - how about W98 and each 'Disk' (partition)?
- Thanks.

With Win98, I would stay with 120GB or smaller harddrives.
Win98 does not include 48Bit addressing and as such it cannot deal properly
with drives greater than 127.5 GB( There are some ways around this ).

The 64 GB issue that arose was related to an early verion of fdisk not being
able to handle disk greater than 64GB. Also remember you may be limited by
motherboard bios if it is an older motherboard

Here is a couple of articles.
