Preparing to install Win2000Pro.
What partition size is recommended, assuming that
applications will be on 2nd partition. (unless that is not
recommended)
During FDisk should HDD 0 & 1 to be set up for Win2000 at
FAT16. Current hard drives are partitioned 3 or 4 times at
FAT32.
Currently running WinME on Dell 733Mhz, 2 WD HHDs, 256 Meg
RambusRam, 2 CD-RW.
TIA
Van

Restrict partitions to 8189MB to get 4096 byte clusters.
Do not use FAR 16, use either FAT32 or NTFS.
