Special Considerations
Hard drives greater than 2.1GB may need to be divided into multiple partitions / logical drives. MS-DOS versions
4.0 through 6.22 allow a maximum primary partition / logical drive size of 2.1GB and are limited to 8.4GB in
physical drive capacity. The file systems supported by Windows-95, Windows-98 and Windows NT are not restricted
to the 8.4GB physical drive limit, but special BIOS support is required.
