PhilsComputerLab | Using modern HDD and SSD with Windows 98 (Capacity limit BIOS settings) @philscomputerlab | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
I used a 4 TB Hard Drive and also a 500 GB Solid State Drive for a Windows 98 Retro Gaming PC. Because Windows 98 only supports small capacities, we can use BIOS options to limit the capacity.
