Evans 2. Hi, You heard correct in relation to the 2TB limit. Kind Regards, Martin If you find my information useful, please rate it. Proposed as answer by Martin G. It is connected via USB. As mentioned originally, I am accessing it apparently normally. Thanks for any suggestions, opinions or whatever. I can write to it and read from it. Can anyone explain that?
No one has yet. Saturday, August 13, PM. I believe you've got it. I'm trying to make another partition on my computer for Windows XP with Partition Manager and don't know how to determine which figures go into partition size and unallocated space afterwards. How do I determine how big to make the partition for Windows XP? Pooky Joralyn Well, the Windows folder takes about GB after installation, and will grow after receiving updates.
I guess 20GB is plentiful to install some apps. Faishal Akbar dont use to much spaace for XP, if you just installing the os not with the programs i recommend GB For Installing, if you prefer install with some heavy-size application I recommend GB. Installed programs went on the smaller partition and games, music, pictures went on the bigger one. If you are able to give it 15GB then you're good.
Michael Heffner XP will install with all the extras removed in as little at 1. This does not leave any additional room for programs or data though. Once you put in the amount of space you want to use in the partitioning software, it will fill in the un-allocated space with the remaining available space. Michael Heffner XP will "install" with all options removed in as little as 1. Once you put in how much space you want to use, it will fill in the un-allocated space with the remainder of the empty room on the drive.
Kevin H Yeah, I'd say at least 10gb. For me, I like to give some buffer so I'll give Oron Joffe Sandra, I agree with Bruce, there's no single figure because it all depends As you can see, the basic size of the OS is not the main issue, but rather the other things that go with it, applications, temp files, installation backup files e.
As a rough guide, I'd suggest 5GB minimum for the OS, more for applications if they go on the same drive. You can have a try. There actually is a limitation on ntfs partitions At 2 TBs. NTFS actually has an upper limit of 16 exabytes quintillion bytes, or 16 million TB , but since current industry standard limits the Partition Tables to 2 to the 32nd power sectors with B sectors, that's 2 TB , the actual current upper limit is 2 TB.
You just have to make sure the blocks of your file system line up with those sectors, I think Windows 7 will do that, XP needs help, dunno bout Vista. Just ran into the same problem on a GB drive. All are primary partitions. Then tried installing XP with Service Pack 2 and it works fine. Let's see - XP was the successor to Windows Pro. Must have carried over to the first edition of XP. As XP progressed the limit must have been removed.
Original edition seems limited. SP2 is not. SP1 maybe??? I too had faced with the same situation, my ntfs files had an unlimited size and so it was really a great problem to saved it in Windows XP OS.
Than I got to know about spilitting of files. But before making any thing I get a backup of all my files. Maybe there can arise a situation of los of files. Unlike MBR disks, there is no practical difference between OEM-specific partitions and other operating system partitions; all are "unrecognized. The user can use disk management tools such as the Disk Management utility or the diskpart. Volumes are created in the data container and mounted by default. Again, this is exactly the same as the contents of 0x42 MBR partitions.
For a drive to be eligible for conversion to dynamic, all basic data partitions on the drive must be contiguous. If other unrecognized partitions separate basic data partitions, the disk can't be converted.
This is one of the reasons that the MSR must be created before any basic data partitions. The first step in conversion is to separate a portion of the MSR to create the configuration database partition. All non-bootable basic partitions are then combined into a single data container partition.
Boot partitions are retained as separate data container partitions. This is analogous to conversion of primary partitions. Windows XP and later versions of Windows differ from Windows in that basic and extended partitions are preferentially converted to a single 0x42 partition, rather than being retained as multiple distinct 0x42 partitions as on Windows You can access the GPT disk partitions of different types using the tools that are listed in the following table.
Volumes can be created on both GPT and MBR disks, and both kinds of disks can be mixed in the same dynamic disk group. The only support for logical volumes is through dynamic disks. NTFS is recommended on all basic data partitions and all dynamic volumes. To circumvent that, the partition or volume must be formatted explicitly via the Format command-line tool.
You can convert an existing partition format to another format. For more information, see the following TechNet articles:. This must never happen. You can make a sector-by-sector copy of the contents of ESP or basic data partitions. Any applications, drivers, utilities, or firmware implementations supplied by system manufacturers or application vendors that rely on GUIDs should be capable of handling GUIDs that change from the OPK initialization values to those generated by the operating system.
The Diskpart. This command can easily be extended to create a "default" disk configuration for the platform. This is similar to the duplicate MBR signature handling in Windows Duplicate GUIDs on a dynamic container or database partition cause unpredictable results. Skip to main content.

Such a configuration shouldn't be created, and is not supported in Windows.
After the disk is partitioned, there will be no free space left to create an MSR. As the MSR is divided into other partitions, it becomes smaller. Tool Windows Firmware Diskpart. Manipulating GPT disks and their contents. In this article.
