OT: new hard drive

I know this is real ***of me :)  I got this new 13 gb 7200rpm (much better
perfomance for racing than standard 5200 ide) I replaced an old 6.4 gb, With
my old hard drive, when I clicked on the "C" icon the total file size in my
root read .98MB  With this 13GB it reads 999k  (Both are FAT 32)  Id hate to
reinstall on my 13gb again to see if it would read .98MB (downloading all
those windows 98 updates is a ***!)  I'm afraid that Windows 98
installation may not of installed all files.  So what is your total file
size in root "C"? (.98MB 999k, something else?)

Thank You in advace.
(It would save me about 15 hours lol)

I'd say that sounds about right...
