FAT16 is limited to 8 gigs but FAT32 goes much higher. I kinda remember Wikopedia saying 2T but could easily be wrong. DOS might have problems with SATA drive. DOS reads from the harddrive a lot. Since SATA is serial (just one bit at a time) The data ransfer rate might be too slow for DOS to live with. I know I can't get it to run on a SD card because one bit at a time is just too slow. You won't know until you try it.
