Note 1: On disks larger than 64GB (Windows 98SE), both the FDISK and FORMAT utilities perform
their functions properly, but they display an incorrect disk size on the screen. A similar problem has
been observed with Windows ME at larger disk sizes (starting somewhere above 80GB). Further
information is available on Microsoft's support web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/44.ASP
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/45.ASP
Note 2: The FDISK utility may not run properly after an external disk drive has been disconnected
and reconnected. It is recommended the user reboot the computer before running FDISK.
Note 3: Neither the ScanDisk nor Defrag utilities will operate on drive partitions larger than 127GB.
Further information is available on Microsoft's support web site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q184/0/06.ASP
Third party utilities, including Norton System Works 2000 and 2002, can be used to replace the
functionality of the ScanDisk and Defrag utilities.
