    Not sure what you mean by limit.  Be useful to know the size of drive in total initially.

    Taking a guess as an example .... say your HDD was 30Gb.  Make your C drive for system a third of that or even half ... space 'disappears'' on system drives!  With remaining space make logicals to suit choice -- so maybe 15Gb for system and two 7.5Gb logicals.

    You'll have to state your question more precisely tho.

    Looks like 2TB is the partion size limiation for FAT32 however Windows 98SE boot disk must be used in order to format the drive

    nilesh04ec, in English you need just ONE of these at the end of a question: "?". More just looks stupid and irritates.
