above
8.2 Gigabytes.  I think you will have to create an extended partiton.

I know of a Program called Max-Blast (EZ-MAX) that will put a software
bios overlay in the master boot record , either using the system's LBA(if
its possible) or it's own LBA and with a system disk (Win 95 Boot
disk--if you want FAT 32 then Win95b or Win98).  Then  you can set up the
partitions to how you want them.  Maybe this program
will work, I used it to set up my Seagate 1.0 Gig HD, Since my bios
didn't
support LBA.  You can use this program on LBA and NON - LBA BIOS
supported systems.  All you have to do is follow its directions.

If you want I can zip this program up and e-mail me privately if you
want it.
