Apologies for a slightly off-topic subject, but I guess it's something that people on this list might have dealt with in the past.
I'm building a new system. Sadly, step number one is to install Windows 98! It has a 20Gb UDMA drive which I used fdisk to split into two (SuSE will go on another disk later - not yet installed).
Whilst I have two 10Gb partitions (one in an extended partition), W98 reports the size of the C: drive as 20Gb! Clearly something is not quite right and I guess W98 may well get into trouble later. (D: is reported correctly as 10Gb.)
Is there something I've missed, or some way to convince W98 that I have two 10Gb partitions?
Did you use Windows or Linux fdisk for this? Linux fdisk is the best choice. You'll want to use FAT32 (partition type c I think) for the first partition (and for the second, before SuSE is installed) and you should use Win95 extended (partition type f) for the extended partition.
