I’m trying to install a Maxtor 120 gbyte drive in a pc running Win 98SE. Using Maxtor’s partition/formatting software, I partitioned the drive into three 40 gbyte partitions and formatted them. I can then copy individual files into Drive C. But when I try to re-install Windows from a CDROM, there is no response. The installation program goes through the ScanDisk operation, sends the message that installation files are being copied and then the installation hangs, going back to the DOS screen with the directory letter of the CDROM blinking. The computer hasn’t crashed. I can still copy files into the C drive. But I can’t get Windows installed. I’d really appreciate some help on this. I currently have a 20 gbyte drive in the computer and it does not behave abnormally at all. I can re-partition it any way I like and have no difficulty re-installing Windows.
