Follow-up Comment #3, bug #39216 (project grub):

> "If I ever wanted to use an external bootable USB drive, how can I find out
how big of a drive could I use for this and other computers?"

It is hard to say - it is PC/BIOS dependent. I am afraid there is no universal
method how to find such limit - at least I don't know it :-(
As a first try look into documentation of Your PC/motherboard :-)

If You try to google e.g. "bios disk limit" You will get some links related to
BIOS/disk limits or their history:
