HPFS maximums: 64 GB partitions, 2 GB files.

FAT32 supported your (1) 500 GB, (5) 100 GB, (10) 50 GB, and your final
(3) 167 GB partitioning. Yes?

At one time, FAT32 had a maximum partition size of 32 GB. Your W2K
driver might be out-of-date.

If you want to play, try partitioning various sizes until you find what
size your W2K driver will support.
