WIN XP Partition
I can't seem to find the answer to the following questions.
I need to find out what the max partition is WIN XP Fat32 and NTFS. Can anyone shed a light on this? Thanks Dan (Still going in circles)

WIN XP Partition
Thank you for the come back. However, I don't have any problem, just
trying to find some answers. Why would I need a problem to find the answers to a simple question I am sure some "MVP" would know?

You don't need a problem; it's just that these tech support groups are normally used for just that - tech support to help solve a problem. You asked a broad question that could easily be answered by a Google search; therefore I wondered if you were having a problem with partitioning that you needed to solve. Since you aren't having a problem, I'll sign off this thread now. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

doing a Google search or trying to use the MS Knowledge base provided
no help. There for I thought for sure someone in this NG would have the answer. Guess I will try the General NG.. Thank you for your time anyway.

Bruce,
Thank you for those links, it was just what I was hunting for. For your information, the one link to the Technet (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...p/filesyst.asp) came back with a error 404, file not found. Anyway, thanks again.

between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32", Read answer. skip wrote: I can't seem to find the answer to the following questions. I need to find out what the max partition is WIN XP Fat32 and NTFS. Can anyone shed a light on this? Thanks Dan (Still going in circles)
