Actually 4KB Logical Sectors CAN be emulated. I wrote emulation software to test my DOS Patches up to 32KB Logical Sectors and to test my Windows 9x Patches up to 4KB Logical Sectors before I got my first 3TB USB Drive. Oh, i did not know that. But anyway it's okay, i'm gonna hunt down a USB stick instead.

jaclaz: Hey, thanks. Well i'm gonna call this case off, because i can easily fix this problem by buying a USB stick with 32 - 64 GB. Nowadays USB flash drives are dirt cheap. Thanks everyone for helping me!

There is nothing to "fix". As MS would put it , this is by design. You have two possible workarounds: get the RLoew's Patches and "update" your Windows 98 System buy another USB disk, decently sized, like 320 Gb or 500 Gb MAKING SURE that it is 512 bytes/sector and live happily with it.After all your original plan was to use just 100 Gb of that 2 Tb disk with Windows 98, right? jaclaz Well, i can try RLoew's patches or buy a 500 GB external HDD. Oh, thanks for the help all. Edit: To be honest i'm kind of disappointed in myself, i had no idea with the 512 byte and 4k native sectors stuff. Also i know that there's no turning back, 4 kb native sector cannot be emulated.

What do you guys want me to do first? I want to fix this badly!

I can confirm that my model number is STBV2000100

Oh, thanks!

Well, my model drive is: SRD00F2 (Seagate Expansion Drive 2 TB) Also, what kind of patches are necessary for the drive to function under Windows 98 SE?

Well, actually it is detected. But no drive letter pops up. BTW, my NTFS partition has 1.71 TB and my FAT32 partition 100 GB.

Hey everyone! I have stumbled in a little problem. I bought an external HDD and Windows 98 SE can't detect it for some reason. The HDD is a Segate Expansion Hard Drive with 2 TB. I created two partitions on the HDD, one with FAT32 and one with NTFS. The HDD has USB 3.0 but it should work with 2.0 if i'm correct. I have the Universal USB Driver by Maximus Decim (ver.3.6) and Windows 98 SE Unofficial Service Pack 3 (3.23) installed in my computer. Also i should note that my motherboard is a ASUS P4P800S-E (Socket 478) with USB 2.0 ports. Please, feel free to reply if you have a solution to this problem.
