I have a HP Pavilion pc with 40GB HD, it run WinME with only C: drive with whole 40 GB space( one partition ). Now I just replaced HD to 60GB. The problem is --- my bootup disk only can format FAT under FDISK for max. 2 GB. After I type FDISK and enter, I get FDISK options ( 4 select option ), I did not get any message like " Do you wish to enable large disk support". Therefore, I can not format 60GB HD to FAT32 for one partition. I want format 60GB HD to one partition ( one drive C: ), then I can install WinME ( need keep winME for operating system ).
