Hi!
While there is a hardware difference in how you
control more than 2^28 sectors (128 GB) FreeDOS
is only limited by the BIOS LBA support and at
the moment by MBR partitioning, which is limited
to 2 TB disk size. However, people have already
been working on GPT partitioning support :-)

FreeDOS supports Logical Block Addressing for hard disks up to 128 GB or
even 2TB depending on the BIOS used However, some BIOSes might have bugs
for disks larger than 32 GB, but you could use drivers like OnTrack or
EzDrive to help resolve this issue

Hello everyone,
What is the size of LBA supported by FreeDOS? I'm asking because I have
a PC with 7 CF slots and I want to know if I can put FreeDOS on a 256GB
card or do I have to limit that OS to 128GB.
Best regards,
Michał Dec
