Short answer: It doesn't work.

About my 1TB partition and Win98:

- Format - impossible in DOS/Win98

- Check with Scandisk/NDD in real DOS, impossible in Win98. Note: NDD is very slow. Scandisk takes about 4 min if there are no errors.

- Defragment - impossible in DOS/Win98

Did you try NDD (2002) or just NDD (2001)? The 2002 version is better and faster.

NDD (dos) - (28.7.2001 / NU 2002) 2001 its perfect. With NU 2001 problem with ndd.exe (!) - error running with disk > 128 GB or RAM 1GB. With ndd.exe last (2002) not problem.

Have you tried DiskMinder [abandoned Helix tools], for DOS + Windows:

HTH

I also had problems with scanning my hard disk with the standard win 98 scandisk

I use disk checker instead. (there is a free trial version but it is limited to 30 scans. If you find a bug however you get a free licence)

I have a 250GB single partition. I had the same problem of "Out of memory" for Scandisk and Defrag. After installing a new dskmaint.dll (v4.90.3000) they both worked.

I feel so inferior with my 10gb hdd

i'm kidding, of course.

Both.
