I'm not familiar with ASM programming, so I don't know what the limitations
of that call are.
What program did you use to make the call? And what was it compiled in?
All compilers I have seen use 32bit signed integers to refer to disk size and
space. Since a 32bit integer has a maximum of |2147483647|, that means the
maximum disk size that can be stored is just over 2047meg. If the program
uses an unsigned 32bit integer, the max is obviously twice the above.
