>i don't know the limit in 98 but it won't be larger than in XP and most likely it will be smaller.
Actually, this is not accurate. Windows 2000 and WinXP have the 32gb limitation on formatting a FAT32 partition, but not mounting them. If you want a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB in WinXP, Microsoft recommends using Windows 98 to create that partition.
