I have an old PC, that I was running Windows 95 on. I was using it as an FTP server, but I came across an old 40GB hard drive and put it in this PC. However, 95 only recognized the first 8GB. This is probably a BIOS limitation, but I popped in my DSL Linux CD and it immediately recognized all 40GB of the drive. However, DSL runs slow on the machine, so I was thinking of installing Windows 98 instead. Is there a way to make Windows 98 use a software IDE driver to bypass the BIOS or are all early Microsoft OS'es stuck with this problem?
