TITLE   :INF: Hard Disk Space Limitations in Services for Macintosh
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server

OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Services for Macintosh
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows NT can report an incorrect amount of free disk space when it
communicates with a Macintosh computer because the Macintosh limits
the size of a hard disk to 2GB. Windows NT reports disk space
according to the following algorithm:

 - If the size of the hard disk is larger than 2GB, Windows NT reports
   the disk as a 2GB disk, otherwise, Windows NT reports the actual
   amount.

 - If the amount of space used on the hard disk is larger than 2GB,
   Windows NT reports 2GB used, otherwise Windows NT reports the
   actual amount.

Using this algorithm, Windows NT enables a Macintosh user to access
more than 2GB on a hard disk.
