Two oddities:
My Windows 98 machine had a 30GB drive in it. I replaced it with a 120GB & then added a 200GB drive. The PC only sees the 200GB as a 7GB for some reason. Putting it in my XP PC & running disc management shows that there is a 7GB partition and the rest is unallocated. Why is this? I have since replaced the 200GB with a second 120GB and the 98 PC reads this correctly.
I tried Fdisk on the 98 PC and it still read it as 7GB. In bios it also showed up as only 7GB in size.
I put it the drive back in the XP PC & wiped the partition, then tried to format it using FAT32, but NFTS was the only option. How can I format it with FAT32 on the XP machine?
