Thanks !
What are the largest partition sizes for
fat16 ?
fat32 ?
HPFS ?
It seemed to get lost hunting for files - just could not find them
then I realised that the hd size was coming back as close to
1024000mb
When I shrunk the partition to 920 it did not happen for a while
then it happened again - though not sure if was same reason.
Since shrunk win98 partition below 900 mb only problem has
been size of partition running out of space.
The last problem I had with os/2 was due the large hd, soon as
I received and fixed the IDE HARD DRIVE fix of
September 9, 1998 update the problems went...
Much rather be using os/2...
