Partition Size & Memory allocations

[Lester Stiefel]

In WindowsXP, Is there any limit to the sizes of
partitions?
I would like to run 3 partitions per drive on disks of
20G.

Can WinXP do a seperate "logical drive for the programs?

How does XP allocate memory usage?

For basic NTFS partitions, the size can be up to 2TB for Win32. It's 18EB
for Win64.

However there's still the maximum of 24 enumerated partitions. Regardless
you can manage multiple drives and partitions as you like.

Memory management in XP is rather complicated. Why do you ask? If it's
specifically in regard pagefile allocation, the best thing is to switch it
system managed and forget about it.
