Might the drive be too large for win98 Fdisk? I ran into the same problem last week trying to install an 80GB under win98.

The laptop has an AMD Anthalon processor with 333 Mhz . When I turn the computer on it says ide error 0. It then loads the windows 98 bootdisk and says that windows 98 has detected that the hard drive has not been partitioned. However, when I try to enter the command fdisk it says no fixed drive present. It recognizes it ar first, but, somehow fdisk can't find it. Anyone know if there is a different way to do this, how this can be rectified, or what the problem is?
