Hello,
I have just built a PC with a 40 GIG HD. I forgot to partition and format the HD prior to loading Windows 98 so when I loaded Win98 it only created a 2 gig FAT 16 partition.

I converted it to FAT 32 using the 98 convertion app. Now when I attempt to create other FAT 32 partitions using Partition Magic I cannot create a FAT 32 partition over 2 gig.

-Does anyone know hy this is happening?
-What can I do to fix it without wipping the whole hard drive?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
MM
 
Did you try System Commander ? It might work in your case. If you did not, then post your email, I can do something for you about this software .

Good luck.
 
No I did not try System Commander. What does it do?
 
It partitions HD like Partition Magic. I could not partition my HD with PartitionMagic so I tried System Commander and in my system, it worked.

 
where can I get sys commander?
