I
hv made a partition of 20 gb and installed win2000. when i create a new
partiotion for the rest of of the hard disk, system gives an error "Volume
too big"
Select "NTFS" rather than FAT32.

Q184006: Limitations of FAT32 File System
support.microsoft.com/?id=184006
================================================================
- You cannot format a volume larger than 32 GB in size using the FAT32
file system in Windows 2000. The Windows 2000 FastFAT driver can mount
and support volumes larger than 32 GB that use the FAT32 file system
(subject to the other limits), but you cannot create one using the
Format tool. This behavior is by design. If you need to create a volume
larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system instead.
