    For partitions other than the boot/system, your original comment sums up the situation pretty well. For Intel boxes there is an adittional limitation. This is caused by the BIOS on the motherboard. This uses Int13 to access the disk/partition it is to boot from. The Int13 data structures for disk geometry limit the max usable partition size to 7.8GB. Any larger than this and you'll probably get a 'disk not found' type message. Once the boot code on the disk has loaded the NT OS via the NT Loader, the BIOS Int13 is no longer used and we get into Terrabyte territory Taken from experts-exchange.com Thank You mzkhadir
