partition size limitations?

[jp]

Running Win98se on an 80GB dv partitioned into two 40GB.
Bought a 120GB WD dv and used the WD s/w to temporarily create a 24GB bootable
partition on it.
Now I want to make it one big drive. I used my old PartitionMagic V4 to resize
the partition to include the rest of the 90GB free space.
It will only allow a maximum partition size of 65546.4MB.
Is this limitation due to Win98se, PartitionMagic or the Bios?

Thanks Rod,
Any idea if newer versions of PM would fix this?

Yes, they certainly do. Sorry, too cryptic originally.

Nah - not too cryptic. Just didn't know whether you meant all versions of PM or
my version was just too old.
Thanks for the info Rod.
