    Red face more space in root drive

    I know of course that the root drive (where win2k is installed) can be no bigger than 2047. My question is, if I have a dual boot, Win NT4.0wks and Win2k can I somehow code or install something or some setting that for when I install programs that have to install certain files to the root or that just don't prompt which directory (thus drive letter) to install to that they will be installed to another drive other than the root, like maybe the NT drive? Would it somehow be realted to mapping? Can someone point me to some help on this topic?

    Re: more space in root drive

    Sure the main drive/array can be bigger than 2GB under win2K.... (2GB is the old FAT32 version limit) on new ver. it already got the "large array support" - however why not converting to NTFS ? it got almost no size limit...
