>>>The maximum size for the boot partition of an NT 4 (and I believe Win2K) system is 4 GB (7.8 GB if you jump through some hoops) so you're 10 GB partition is totally out of the question. See MS KB article Q119497 for an explanation of the workarounds.

>Win2K doesn't have the same issues - it does not rely on the NT loader, or on the WinNT driver model. You can make a virtually unlimited size boot partition under Win2K, using either a FAT32 partition or an enhanced NT 5 NTFS partition - but doing this will cause problems if you need to access the same partition dual-booting NT. Set the NT/Win2K FAQ site in my sig block for details.

Thanks, Ed, for the clarification. Right now, issues with NT aren't that important to me, but someday they might be. It's always good to know of sources to find things.
