Largest Partition From Which Win2K Can Boot

[owensdj]

I was wondering what's the largest partition from which Windows 2000 can boot using an IDE drive? Anybody booting Win2K from a 40GB or larger partition?

I have a 30 gig on one of my machines running Windows ME
I dont see why it wouldn't work

With the NTFS file system, you could theoretically format a 4TB partition and install Windows 2000 on it. I think with Windows 98 and FAT32, you can only have a 40GB or 80GB partition. Check out http://www.microsoft.com/technet/default.asp and search for FAT32. If you cannot find anything, goto http://msdn.microsoft.com and search for FAT32. You will find something.
