According to my research:
The maximum size of a FAT16 partition is 2^32 bytes or 4.2GB.
The maximum size of a NTFS partition is 2^64 or 1.8e19 bytes.
The system partition must be no more than 7.8GB.
The disc size would be limited by the disc controller. EIDE allows up to 136GB. Over that, you would have to use something like SCSI or SATA.
