I believe your refering to computer BIOS size limitations. Here is the list as I remember them.
528 MB
2.1 GB
8.4 GB
32 GB
128 GB
If your computer BIOS is older you can still use the larger drives by enabling the 32 GB jumper. I will assume your computer is fairly new and can handle at least 32GB drives. For running windows you can use the drive overlay software that comes with the disk. linux will be able to use the entire drive space.
Please post the hardware specifications of your PC, motherboard, type of processor. This will put us in the ball park on its capabilities. It might also be possible to reprogram your BIOS to handle larger drives.
Also please provide better titles for your threads. Almost everyone that posts here needs help.
