Here is the recipe:
1. Install the DUT as a slave disk on some different machine.
2. Copy the system partition to some other location:
XCOPY D:\ C:\SomeFolder\ /s /h /k /c 1>c:\test.log 2>&1
3. Examine c:\test.log for error messages.
4. Make sure that the target location contains the same amount
of data as the source location.
5. Repartition & reformat the DUT.

Because I repartitioned in Win2K using Disk Management, I was forced
to create a 32GB FAT32 partition.

Can I increase the size of that by some other means and get Win2K to
run properly, or does the 32GB limitation apply to all FAT32 Windows
operations?

Use a third-party partition manager such as Acronis DiskDirector
or PQMagic.

IMHO it's a bad idea to store things other than the OS and
applications on the system partition. In this case 10 GBytes
is plenty for Win2000, or 20 GBytes for WinXP.
