? drive partition software

greetings ... i am having a meltdown moment. The platform
is an IBM Thinkpad 600E (wife's 1998) with the original
BIOS, a dead battery and a dying hard drive. The BIOS goes
to 8 GB hard drive. I can't upgrade the BIOS without a
working battery. I suspect I'll need a drive partition
software to utilize all of the replacement hard drive. As
I research, I find software like EZ Drive is a Fat, not a
NTFS used by Win 2000.

Any suggestions on how to setup the notebook to use a
larger than 8 GB and Win 2000?

Since the drive overlay installs on the mbr
it should have nothing to do with the filesystem you use
