Max File size in W2k

[dtiernan]

Fellow Travellers, I am a tech support guy and one of the sales force today asked a question I cannot, yet, answer.

What is the absolute maximum file size allowed in Window 2k? Not by a particular app, but by the OS.

I don't think there is one. Whatever the hard drive can hold and that depends on the FAT.

FAT16 has a 2GB file size limit, FAT32 has 4GB as its limit. And the NTFS file system has a (theoretical) maximum file size of 16 exabytes or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes (2^64 sectors).
