I believe that PC-DOS handled it in an earlier version ... M$ was always solw to catch up & by the look of things it hasn't changed much .... :-D norbert <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:petre@maltzen.net">petre@maltzen.net</a> wrote: <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid40EAC61E.9060203@maltzen.net">Showing my age I suppose: Yes, I do remember when 40MB disks had to be split into two partitions because DOS couldn't handle anything larger than 32MB. I believe, though I'm not certain, that it was 3.2 that allowed partitions bigger than 32MB; but it had a number of bugs, which were fixed in 3.3 such that 3.3 became a standard recommendation. 4.0 came out, very buggy, 4.1 was arguably better, but getting fatter. It went downhill from there. 'Showing my age' means not only did I go through it, it's been so long I can't remember the exact details. ;-) Petre Les Mikesell wrote: <blockquote type="cite">...how to work around bugs that change every year. Does anyone remember what version of MSDOS was the first to recognize more than 32 Megs in a disk partition - or which hardware vendors added their own hacks to earlier versions?
