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!

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

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.

Just wanted to be sure.
At least one person on the various forums I scanned assumed he had a 2TB when it he actually had a 3TB.
SRD00F2 is the Enclosure's Model Number. Seagate lists the Model Numbers as STBV2000100 and STBV3000100.
I can confirm that my model number is STBV2000100

Although RLoew certainly can give you more details, there's a short description of the TeraByte Plus Package at his site. Once there, scroll down and you'll see the link.
Oh, thanks!

I have a number of Seagate External USB Hard Drives. They use 4K Logical Sectors for Drives larger than 2TiB (2.2TB).
The ones below this size, including the 2TB Drives use 512 Byte Logical Sectors and their adapters automatically switch depending on the Drive used.
There are 2TB Drives that use 4K Logical Sectors such as the Hitachi Touro, and others above 2TiB that use 512 Byte Logical Sectors.
I wasn't expecting it, so I didn't ask about it, but apparently Seagate has chosen to break compatability even when it is not necessary.
I have yet to find a BIOS that can recognize a 4K Logical Sector USB Hard Drive.
Exactly what Model Drive are you using?
I downloaded and examined the MBRs you posted. For the Partition sizes you described, there is not doubt that the Drive is Partitioned with 4K Sectors as Jaclaz has already noted.
The other issues he noted won't matter in this case, but you will need many of the Patches in my TeraByte Plus Package to access this drive.
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?

I don't know if this is what your looking for, i am really confused if i'm doing right or not. But i gave it shot.

Is it ignored completely or does it Install a Driver and then not get a Drive Letter?
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.
