As it is currently supported by the drivers in Windows, an NTFS partition can be no larger than 256 terabytes.
NetBSD, Windows, and Linux each support both FAT and NTFS file systems.
Most operating systems uses the boot partition to boot the computer. In some operating systems, both the system partition and the boot partition are used to boot up the system.
is it possible to do multiprogramming with only one partition
You can do it in 2 ways: 1:you can try disk management,You can change/make partitions on your hard disk even when there are still files on it 2:you can try three party partition manager software,like as gaprted, MiniTool partition wizard and so on.

-Much greater limit of partition size -Much greater maximum size of a file -Faster searching -Support for access control
The type of partition is irrelevant to how much data can be stored. A partition can hold as much data as has been designated on the hard drive during the creation of the partition. The size of your hard drive determines how large the NTFS partition can be.
Yes. NTFS, the file system that Windows XP uses, has a maximum partition size of 16 TB.
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.
Use a partition manager like GParted or the one on the Vista setup CD to expand the NTFS partition. You cannot expand the partition while Windows is running on it.
Without service packs, Windows XP cannot see beyond the 127 GB barrier. Thus, the largest partition you could create on a single hard drive would be 127 GB.
You can convert the entire filesystem to NTFS by running in a shell window ntfs C: or ntfs C:\
dsk cnv
f-disk
Not natively, although there are programs that will allow you to read an NTFS partition.
yes But conversion from NTFS to FAT32 is not possible. One has to delete the partition and recreate FAT32 partition . Data will be lost in the process.
