There are limits, but not these. A FAT32 partition can theoretically be
as large as 8 terabytes. WinXP will not create a FAT32 partition larger
than 32GB, because NTFS is available there and is a *much* better choice
for large partitions. FAT32 doesn't really scale all that well. But you
can create very large FAT32 partitions in Win98 or WinME (presumable
also with Partition Magic and other third party programs) and WinXP will
happily use these partitions.

The largest file a FAT32 partition can handle is 4GB, minus a few bytes
IIRC.

Look here for file system size limits:
