- There's no problem with drives that big, only with partitions that big. So
- if you keep your partition sizes at 2GB or less, you'll have no trouble. So
- in your case, 2 partitions of 2GB each will work nicely. If the drive
- delivers 4.6GB after formatting, you'll need 3 partitions in order to keep
- them at or below the 2GB limit.
