- Unable to install on various hard drives because they were just TOO DANG BIG. How the gently caress you manage to balls this up so bad that within years of your OS release you can't actually install it on anything I don't even know. Mac and Windows* don't have this problem so it's not like it was some sort of secret mythical magic.

how are you only just discovering that drive size limits are a thing in older OSes? :psyduck:

DOS didn't like anything over 504MB. early windows didn't like 2GB. various BIOS bugs caused 8GB, 32GB, or 64GB limits. and >128GB wasn't supported until one of the XP service packs
