- 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.
