External 250GB HD USB2 not recognized as drive W98SE

[Lou]

I have a question regarding a Dell Dimension XPS T500. I am trying to
install an external hard drive which is a Maxtor 6 250GB drive mounted
in a Metal Gear USB 2.0 external drive box. The USB drivers came with
the drive unit and it recognizes the hardware but does not install the
drive as a Disk with a drive letter. The particulars of my system are
listed below. The bios is up to A11. Will this system be able to read
this 250GB drive? Is there a limitation on the size of the drive on
this machine? Is there something I can do to make it read the drive?
The drive does work on a newer Latitude 610 w/Win2000. Thanks!

Dell XPS T500
WIN 98 SE
BIOS A11
128 MB RAM
13.6GB IBM Internal HD
Original CD
DVD-RW
NEC USB 2.0 PCI
Firewire card

Try asking in the Windows 98 newsgroups, they will be more familiar with
your problem.
