I did not run into the 128 GB limitation because I partitioned the drive 
into 6 partitions, none bigger than 40 GB.  My smallest partition is 2 GB 
as permitted by the Western Digital Data Lifeguard utility available off 
their website.  I got it because I was aware of the 64 GB limitation on 
fdisk in Windows 98SE.  My success is partly due to divine providence and 
to some research.
