PrinceSanty: In the FAT32 File System Microsoft MS-DOS versions 4.0 and later allow FDISK to partition hard disks up to 4 gigabytes (GB) in size. However, the MS-DOS file allocation table (FAT) file system can support only 2 GB per partition.
DOS can support multiple partitions as like windows but the maximum partition will be of 2 GB maximum, as DOS supports FAT 16..
2 GB
There is no limit on the size of a hard driveformatted with FAT16. The only limit is the size of a FAT16 partition on the drive. The maximum size of a FAT16 partition is 4 GB.

As it is currently supported by the drivers in Windows, an NTFS partition can be no larger than 256 terabytes.
Assuming one of them is an extended partition on an MS-DOS partition table: Eight. If the partitions are all primary partitions: Four.
The Fdisk command is used to change hard disk partitions in DOS.
FAT 16 file system support 2GB partion.
The size limit of a partition will depend on the firmware of the computer in question, the size of the hard drive, and what file system is being used. For example, many older BIOSes cannot see past the 127 GB barrier, the largest single hard drive currently available is about 2 TB, and the maximum size of an NTFS partition is 256 TB.
