Trust me on this, or better, trust the FAQ at www.ntfaq.com, and see what it says there rather than just listen to me!

>>Boot can be 4GB as FAT (not the same as DOS/Win9x FAT16 behavior, but entirely true!), or up to 7.8GB with NTFS and drivers that support it (updated ATAPI and IDE drivers came out with either SP4 or 5, and details on how to are online at www.ntfaq.com) and Win2K can be...big.
>>
>>NTFS can in theory be in the exabyte range, and both Compaq and John Hancock Storage Systems (now deceased) have both demo'd multi-TB RAID implementations - MS used one of Compaq's for a SQL Server proof-of-concept project that they showed a couple years ago.

>>>>Doug, with NTFS, you can go lots bigger than 2GB; NT variant FAT16 can go as big as 4GB.
