Los Alamos Computers: High-Performance Linux Computing
We always use the Linux program fdisk or sfdisk to partition a new hard drive - even for making DOS FAT32 partitions or HPFS/NTFS partitions. The scheme we use depends entirely upon how large the hard drive is, what OS(s) we are installing, how you intend to use the machine, and of course your preferences. After reviewing the hardware in your order, we will make a recommendation allowing for smooth upgrades in the future (keeping your personal files and non-OS software in place).

Question 2: How large a capacity of hard disk drive can NT support?

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: NT can view a maximum partition size of 2 terabytes (or 2,199,023,255,552 bytes), however there are limitations that restrict you well below this number. FAT has internal limits of 4 GB due to the fact that it uses 16-bit fields to store file sizes, 2^16 is 65,536 with a cluster size of 64 KB gives us the 4 GB. HPFS uses 32-bit fields and can therefore handle greater sized disks, but the largest single file size is 4 GB.
