Why is NTFS better then Fat 32? Does it have a smaller cluster? Or is it security?dduardo said:Fat32 isn't very good. I suggest you format ntfs. Why are you dual booting windows 98 and windows xp?
No, Windows 98 is limited to recognizing and accessing hard drive partitions up to 137 GB in size. This limitation is due to the use of the FAT32 file system, which has a maximum partition size of 32 GB on Windows 98.
Yes, it is possible to partition a 160 GB HDD to 32 GB on Windows 98. However, the remaining 128 GB of the hard drive will not be accessible or recognized by the operating system.
Yes, there are third-party software programs available that can bypass the 137 GB limitation on Windows 98. These programs can allow you to create and access larger partitions on your hard drive, but they may not be compatible with all hardware and may not provide reliable performance.
The maximum partition size that can be recognized by Windows 98 is 137 GB. This is due to the limitations of the FAT32 file system and the operating system's ability to access and manage larger partitions.
Yes, you can upgrade your Windows 98 to a newer operating system, such as Windows XP or later, to access larger partitions. These newer operating systems support larger partition sizes and have more advanced file systems, such as NTFS, which can handle larger volumes of data.
