i remember on my old pc.
the hd went out and i had to replace it.

i had to run the maxblast software so it'll recognzie over 17gigs (it was a 30 gb one). the cd also asked about file system, and i chose NTFS, since xp handles it well.

so, i put a win98 boot disk and damn, it didnt recognize ntfs drives.

so, i had to download xp boot disk's (there are 6 bootdisks and you need all of them for xp) to start the install.
