There are three main complications with that.
1. The FDISK tool in Windows 98 cannot format above the 127 GB barrier (before LBA48). Using a third-party partitioning tool, or perhaps FDISk from Windows ME, will allow you to bypass this restriction, although 2. hast to be fixed before you can do this, and 3. has to be fixed before it is worthwhile.
2. Most BIOSs manufactured before 2002 do not support LBA48, so the usable hard drive size is limited to 127 GB. A BIOS upgrade may resolve this if the computer is close to 2002 in its manufacturing date. Alternatively, you can use a bootable IDE controller card to connect the drives and bypass the limitation.
3. Even with the BIOS taken care of, the generic IDE driver in Windows 98 will not allow you to reach beyond 127 GB. Installing a patched driver may help; I have linked to a shareware program below that provides this. if your motherboard has LBA48-capable drivers, use those instead.

How much hard drive and memory do you need for a high student laptop?
2GB of RAM and 320GB of hard drive space is the absolute minimum for a laptop that a student will use. Getting better specs will allow you to do more at once and store lots more files, programs, music, photos and videos too. It really depends on what you do and how much you use your computer. If you don't use it much then the minimum is probably adequate, but if you use it often with Word, PowerPoint, and games you probable need about 2-3GB RAM and 300- 400 GB hard drive. If you are more active on your computer with more complex programs such as Photoshop, Indesign, etc. then you will need around 3-4 GB RAM and 600-00 or more, hard drive.
