Exactly Correct: HDD Sizes were originally limited to 2GB due to Fat16 limitations. This was way back in the Win95 OSR1/a days. Now we have Fat32 which has a tad bit more partition space available. Unfortunately Microsoft overlooked the Pie Chart thing when they wrote OSR2/b. Much like the original Terminal program (written around 1985 and never updated through win3.0, 3.1, 3.11 - until 1995 with win95 where it was scrapped) I tend to think this minor "oversight" is not high on microsofts list of "bugs". If it really bothers you you can make a picture with excell that truly represents your hard drive and print it out, then just hold it up to your screen every time you go into drive properties... that's what I do... LOL :)
