Drive partitions

[t048]

A while back I had to re-partition my hd and now I have 10 drives (if you count disk and cd). Prior to that, I only had one drive and I can't remember how to make them all show as one. Anyway, I was thinking about getting a second physical drive, but at the rate of 2gb per partition I would have more than 26 drives (not counting mapped network drives). So how would windows handle that?

Hello,

That is a problem with the English alphabet - it has only 26 letters. My language has 30 letters so it might handle without any problems.
In reality - I don't know. First two letters are reserved (A and B). B you can add later as a drive name (HD or CD) so it is left with 24+1. Chances are it will work.
You won't be able to map anything.

Have you considered upgrading to win98 and getting past the 2gig limit? You could leave the first drive as is and have the new drive one big partition.

Yeah, just upgrade to Win98 and your problems will be solved.

Im sure later editions of win95 support fat32, which enables you to make larger than 2GB partitions.When using FDISK, You must answer yes when asked if you want to enable large disk support.Now set your primary to 100% and your good to go.What os are you running?

I do have win98 and at one time my drive was partitioned as one big drive. But I can't remember how I did that.

Did you say "yes" as struggles said? Do this when you enter FDISK
