98&XP Dual Boot, Files Appear As Garbage


Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to find a fix (if there is one). I'm running dual boot 98 & XP, P4 3.0, 1GB, 320GB. C partition is 1GB, with 98SE, D partition is 297 GB with XPPro. Both systems boot and seem to run fine, my problem is, when in 98, and I go to open folders on the D drive, about half of them appear as garbage (strange characters as file and folder names, and weird property sizes, anywhere from 180 GB to 2-3 TB) and when I try to open them, I get a file/folder does not exists message. But when I boot back into XP, everything is there and works fine, (can read, write, and access all files/folders) I'm sure this has something to do with the 137 GB limit in 98, but I was wondering if there was a fix or patch anywhere. Thanks.

FREAKIN' AMAZING!!!! As I read through the post I figured it would be some long ordeal, and I would have to reformat and repartition, etc, But I just found a copy of Maximus Decim's BHDD 3.0, unzipped it, booted into 98, ran install.bat, rebooted...and BAM, there everything was, all my files and folders, over 200GB. Shame about LLXX getting banned, but if you happen to be cruisin' these boards, just wanted to let you know...YOU ARE THE MAN!!!...well, not technically, you may not be A MAN, but you are definately THE MAN!!! Thanks a bunch!
