Anyone havting problems with data corruption on win98se (FAT32 FS)

The PC is :

Asus A7n8x-E - 2500 Barton CPU Stock Cooling
512 Kingston DDR PC 2700
WDC 160GB 8MB Cache Drive + 60 GB Maxtor HD (same controller)
52x CDRW + 16x DVD ROM (Secondary controller)
Win98se.

It had a 30 GB IDE with fresh install of win98 like 1 month ago. I used
Ghost to clone the drive.

Started getting blue screens, boot into safe mode, boot hangs. Re-instal of
OS so far has cured it.

But Also getting odd problems with a 250 GB IDE (fresh install) on a new
400sc Dell too.

Any Ideas???
 
I havent used win98 for a loooong time, but did it have the same probs with
later o/s as regards large drives?
If so and you formated prior to enabling biglba, there have been posts
suggesting corruption unless you reformated after biglba enabled.
