I just formated a 60 gb IBM Hitachi 7,200 RPM drive in my T20 Thinkpad into a
single partition and installed W2K.  I first used a Win 98 startup disk w/o
cd rom support to fdisk and format the C: drive and ended up with 57+ GB
storage of FAT 32.  I added DOS CD Rom drivers, a simple autoexec.bat, config.sys
and other system files in DOS; A: copy *.* C:.  I shut down the laptop and
swapped the floppy for the DVDRom in the Ultra Bay.  I booted the W2K CD and told
it to use the current FAT 32 partition.  So it is possible to have more than 32
GB with W2K.

Mike Scott
