So I found a PC-98 of my own a while back - it's a PC-9821Cf with 72MB RAM and a Pentium Overdrive. I've been meaning to replace the original drive (which is only 500mb and has Windows 3.1 on it), and I'm wondering what the maximum useable drive size is, as it varies between DOS/Windows versions. Apparently the hard limit is 8GB, as the machine refuses to boot even from floppy with an 8.4GB drive installed.
Windows 95 can use 8GB drives if it's the OSR2 version, but otherwise they have to be partitioned into 2GB chunks, apparently. Is the PC-98 version any different? Is there a PC-98 version of 95OSR2 floating around?
I also have a Windows 98 CD, but I'm not sure if the boot floppy I have works properly. I get into this menu:
And no matter what I pick I get to this screen:
Eventually I get a prompt (the screen stays that way for quite a few minutes), but I can't access the CD. Do I have the right boot floppy? My specific machine doesn't seem to be listed in the choices in that first menu.
Any idea where I can find Windows 95 OSR2 for this machine?
