realizing there may be other answers, let me try that again. you are saying if one intends installing freedos as the only operating system on a hard drive it cannot see a drive larger than 2 gig at all? or are you saying that it only creates fat 16 partitions with the gig limit? Meaning you cannot create a fat 32 partition in freedos at all? Thanks, Karen
