   Dos 6.2 will see up to 2.1 gigs per partion.  It uses Fat16
just like Win95.

Hi,
 Yes, check in your motherboard manual if you still have it, but
usually you should choose LBA (large is for non-microsoft OS's
(Linux I think).  Then you MUST repartion it (delete the old and
recreate it) or it will never see the new partition (took me an
hour once to relise I had forgotten this step).  After that, you
should be fine.
