155289 2003-06-26 06:57:00 Hello People

I am wondering if anyone knew the maximum HDD sizes for the various ATA configurations eg. 33/66/100/133.

I have a ASUS CUBX Mother Board BIOS Version 1006 with a Seagate 10.2Gb 5400rpm U-ATA HDD on the Promise ATA/66 controller.

Does anyone know what the maximum HDD size is?
If so does it have to be partitioned?

Running Windows 98SE.

Thanks
Phar

Here's a good link to different format types though win98se only supports fat16 and fat32
