Don't know, but I suspect it's around 32M. I seem to remember seeing something mentioned somewhere. I just divided a 42M Seagate into 5 partitions to play with. I may test the limits eventually but for right now I would just like to get some of the OSes loaded on the hard disk so I can work with them. Especially RSX180 as I have some other plans for that one. bill
