48-bit LBA Test Program for Windows* Me/98 SE/98

An MS-DOS*-based 48-bit LBA test program is available below for use on systems
running Windows* Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 98 SE, or Windows 98. This
program provides an easy way to determine if your BIOS is capable of supporting
hard drives larger than 137GB (48-bit LBA). This program can also determine if
your BIOS may need to be updated in relation to 48-bit LBA.
  * PASSED - BIOS is currently 48-bit LBA capable. No additional steps are
    needed.
  * FAILED - BIOS is currently not 48-bit LBA capable. BIOS update needed.
  * UNDETERMINED - Test program is not able to determine if BIOS is 48-bit LBA
    capable.

The 48-bit LBA test program was designed to run in a true MS-DOS environment -
not an MS-DOS prompt window. (Instructions for running the program in true
MS-DOS can be found at the bottom of this page). Running this test program from
an MS-DOS prompt from within Windows Me, Windows 98 SE, and Windows 98 may
still work but you may see some irregularities and formatting issues.

Note: Due to the current BIOS architecture, you will need to have a hard drive
larger than 137GB installed on your system before running this test program.
Otherwise, the following error message will appear: "We cannot determine
whether your BIOS is 48-bit LBA capable, because you currently do not have a
48-bit LBA hard drive installed."

Caution: Running this test program on systems using non-supported operating
systems such as Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT* 4.0 will produce a
'NTVDM.EXE' error.

Please note that no personal information of any type is sent or obtained by
running this 48-bit LBA test program. If you choose to run this program, the
test program performs a check of your system to determine if your BIOS is
currently 48-bit LBA capable or if it may need to be updated. No information of
any type is collected or returned back from your system to Intel.

MS-DOS Instructions
 Instructions on running this test program in true MS-DOS can be found on the
appropriate operating system website:
Windows Me [21]
Windows 98 SE & Windows 98 [22]
