Windows 98 and an 80GB HDD

by dwilliamson . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

I have a Maxtor 80GB HDD that I am trying to install into a computer running Windows 98 and of course it is only recognizing 32GB. The Motherboard is a Gigabyte BX2000 with an original bios version of v.1.8. I have flashed the bios with version F8 (which according to the motherbaord websight will allow it to recognize an 80GB HDD) but it still only sees 32GB. Now, I did have an OS installed on the hard drive with a 32GB partition. How can I eliminate the current partition, increase the drive capacity to 80GB and get this machine back to its user. Thanks.
