Not strictly true...
I put a 20Gb drive into my CT100 and made as large a partition as I could using a plain DOS boot disk and FDISK. This created a partition which was 8Gb minus the space for the hibernation partition. I then rebooted and loaded Partition Magic (I imagine other freeware partition tools would work just as well). I then created a 200Mb partition at the end of the first one and marked it HIDDEN, then created a partition after that one to fill the rest of the disk. I then loaded Win98SE and it could see both the partitions and use all the disk... no overlay software required.
David... Can you explain how Dave got PM to see the > 8.4GB area of his HDD? And how he's able to get by without overlay?
Matt
