The limit will be dependent on the BIOS installed and filesystem type.

I went ahead and partitioned my hard drive 998gb for windows and 402 gb for Ubuntu. When i go under disk utility it says that i have a 1.5TB and that i have it partitioned for those specs. So I think that since it sees the 1.5TB I will DBAN and reinstall Ubuntu. for full disk installation. I Would like to thank you and all linux users for all your support and forums out there they really helped me, i haven't had a linux system since 8.10 was released.
