NO. NO. NO! The Original complaint was with Win98SE - you confuse the issue with another OS*...[[Win98 is an updated version of Wiin95 and in those days HDD were quite small..so there was no issue. When Win98 came out Microsoft raised the size of HDD...but there were limits so with the "Second Edition" these issues were addressed]]....but it depends "which" Win98se-version you have (I understand..) - so this is the first thing to establish.....
The Poster needs to look at his CD/paprerwork and + check Motherboard limits/Bios etc.
Having established the version then (As Oldtimer suggests) he needs to fdisc to 160G - I'm sure you are trying to help but suggesting he goes to another OS is really not the answer.

On the face of it I believe he CAN address 160G...but as I suggested it "might" be marginal....it would be useful to have a definative limit for Win98SE as I think it is well above the 120G you suggest. My own computer accepts 120G (on Win98SE) without a problem. Finally, If he is really stuck then fdisc to two partitions 80G + 80G should be a fix, so the D-drive can be used to store all his data/pics etc.

* WinXP is about to be replaced (by Vista), so if anyone wants to change they should wait a few months (more), as it will lower the price of those XP-discs. Incidently do "new" XP disc include SP2 by default (as it were), or do you have to upgrade as a separate exercise?
(I'm still on Win98SE)
