I'm pretty sure that your PII 300 Motherboard should be ok with a 4 gig drive. Might not see 20 but that's a different story.
Don't use a drive overlay program to to reconize the full potential of a hard drive. Those programs work real nice until you want to upgrade, and from there, its a real horror story.
Basicly when 98 does the first part of the install, its in 16bit mode. When it goes to the splash screen it is going into 32 bit mode.
Usually when it locks up at this point, there is a card that is messing things up.
try removing all the card except the video and see if this helps.
