Hi, Mike.

Wrt Wayne's situation, since he only has Win98FE, I think the FDISK
update he wants is the one issued earier by M$ - which fixes the prob
for 64GB < HDD <137GB, (and not with 48-bit LBA).  I'll post another msg
about that, to ALL.  Filenames are:

Win98FE -  FDISK.EXE   5/19/00  64,428
Win98SE -  FDISK.EXE   5/18/00  64,460
