Maximum Boot Device Size P600
The P600 controller has a strange configuration option for each logical
volume that is used as a boot device. Basically you can choose between disabling the maximum boot device size, in which case the boot device is limited to 4GB or enabling maximum, in which case you are limited to 8GB. Our W2K3 64 bit installer didn't observe that limitation and made the boot device run at 68GB, and it seems to work. Is the 8GB limitation strictly for DOS and earlier versions of Windows? -- Will |

Maximum Boot Device Size P600
Yes, its for older versions of windows, and other old operating systems. Its
there for legacy compatability, and can be safely ignored with any MS OS newer than NT4.0. - LC "Will" wrote in message ...
