Max NTFS Disk Partition
Good day all,
I have looked on the discussion groups and fear I may just be dumber than the average bear, but I was unable to locate this information. What is the maximum NTFS disk partition allowed by Windows XP Pro SP3? -- Thanks and best regards, Kim

Max NTFS Disk Partition
Drives have now reached 2TB in size which
is the limit for an XP NTFS partition. See: http://smallvoid.com/article/cluster...partition.html Windows 7 does not have this limitation. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Kim" wrote in message ...

That is a bit deceiving, the 2TB size limit is an MBR (Basic) disk limit
imposed by the 32-bit width of the partition table, it isn't an NTFS thing at all. Dynamic volumes are not subject to this size 2TB limit.

Do you install XP on Dynamic Volumes as a regular habit?
By the way "NTFS" isn't exactly New Technology these days. And mounting Volumes pre-dates Windows. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "John John - MVP" wrote in message ...
