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.
