Not exactly, Dean. The problem is that he set up his new drive under Windows
95, thence the 2GB limit, since Win95 only understood 16-bit FAT partitions,
therefore 2GB maximum. The best solution is to use Partition Magic to
convert the partition to the 32-bit FAT preferred by Win98 and
simultaneously expand it to the full drive capacity.
Using Linux to mount an existing 16-bit partition will not, unfortunately,
help anything.
