RE: [IMail Forum] NTFS Limitation

[Phil Taylor]

The boot partition can actually be any size as long as the last (virtual) cylinder of the drive is under 1024 (Due to a limitation in the PC BIOS) Most modern IDE & SCSI controllers handle this OK.   If you want a boot partition bigger than 4GB (Not quite sure why you would !) you need to create the partition on another machine running NT prior to the installation.   Cheers   Phil -----Original Message----- From: Scott Pouliot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 July 1999 12:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] NTFS Limitation Boot partition is limited to 4GB and all others are 2 Terabytes.  I used to think the boot had to be < 2GB, but with experimentation.....4GB will work  ;-)
