I've been finding somewhat conflicting info on the MS ScanDisk limit of 137GB (127 GiB). Some say it is a total disk size, other say the logical disk size. So I'm hesitate to use scandisk.
Does Geodisk2 have any problems with drives or partitions larger than 137GB (127GiB)?
I have a Seagate 160GB drive divided into 1 primary drive of 4.66GiB and an extended partiton with 4 logical drives of 36GiB. Win 98 FE. Thanks,
Digitech

I forgot to include, I'm using the Intel Application Accelerator for 48bit LBA support in Win 98 FE and have 48bit LBA bios support.

AFAIK the limit only pertains to the Pheonix BIOS using the Phoenix BitShift translation algorithm, see: support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;243450 In 9x there is an Fdisk limit on drives larger than 127GB. In order to partition drives larger than 127GB you must use either a 3rd party partitioning application/utility or add an IDE Controller Card. Other than that you should be fine running scandisk.
