If I were you i would get a hard drive before this one fails. Then you can hook both of them up and copy any important files over before the drive fails.

Will the BIOS recognize the drive

It depends on how old your bios is. If you drive is bigger than 10 gig you should be safe up to 80 gig. Do you know if you are ATA 33,66,100 or 133? Also most bios can be flash updated so if your motherboard maker has a new bios you can go as big as you want.

Win98 have trouble detecting any hardware

If you can list what hardware you have I might beable to tell you. Without that knowledge I would just be guessing. If all your hardware is older than 98 (AKA you bought your computer in 96) you should be fine. With a list I could tell you better.

Make sure either you 98 disk boots off of you cd rom or you have a 98 boot disk.
