Hi Franco:
I'm running a 12G IBM drive on my 380XD 266Mhz and using
the entire disk.
I can multiboot into Dos7, W98SE, W2K, and Linux (above version 7.1).
Linux does not have any problems seeing any/all of the partitions.
W98SE and W2K can each see all of the Fat16/32 partitions.
This was sort of hard to set up though.
I'm quite certain that with Win2K you could use all
of the 12G and probably much more than that.
I don't know if other operating systems (other than these will work).
Cheers, Bert
