Win98 will see it, but unless you install overlay,
partitioning software, at least Partition Magic, will
not be able to see the entire drive properly.
If you image the drive with software like Norton
Ghost, you need to run it with the appropriate switch.
See archives on this.

impression that there was no way of getting around the
Libby's BIOS hibernation function that wants to write
over the area at 8GB on >any< drive.
