Windows 98 FDISK Acting Weird
Quote from razvandvl on 2023-08-16, 3:30 PMHi guys.
I'm trying to install Win98 SE on 2 different machines, and everytime I stumble on the same issue :
FDISK cannot see my main Hard Drive as a Fixed Disk 1
It's seen as a Fixed Disk 2 and obviously I can't make the partition bootable.
The only thing that it can see as a Primary dos partition is the actual Easy2Boot USB drive
Formatting is a no go from the Free Dos, and by forcing install on the actual Fixed Disk 2 drives, it causes crashes and neverending scanning for hardware.
Any solution to this?
P. S : I kinda followed the steps in James Mackenzie video on YouTube

The anti-detection scores in the benchmark are based on real testing against protected targets, not hypotheticals. For USA news outlets specifically, one provider scored almost perfectly while others triggered blocks constantly. Made the switch and my 403 rate went from 60 percent to under 2 percent. My news pipeline finally runs uninterrupted and I am collecting complete datasets. The site-specific test results are pure gold for anyone targeting particular domains.
