Boot Drive Size Limit

[Guest]

I am using Partition Magic 8.0 to resize my C: drive. It is warning that the
drive may not be bootable if I increase the size over 8 GB. I am running
WinXP-HomeSP2 and have a brand new Asus MB.. Please advise if I have to
worry about this size limit. Thank you

Maybe you should look to symantec for that answer, they make it after all.

You may ignore that warning if the OS in that partition is Windows XP.

You only have to worry about the warning if you are running an older
operating system like Win9x. Since you have XP - no, you don't need to
worry.

Disregard the warning. You should be OK.
