I am trying to add a hardrive when I go to format it as Fat32 it says
"the disc volume is too big". Its a 120 GB hard drive. My cureent drive
is 60 GB Fat32 Does this need to be partitioned? What am I doing wrong?


Thanks

Either use NTFS or boot off a Win98 DOS floppy (with the updated
FDISK from Microsoft's website) and partition/format the volume
from there.

>you need to partition your hard drive. You should

partition your hard drive into two 60gb partitions.
