Why would one want to do such a silly thing?
Maybe you can run cygwin on windows.

I think Redhat has this option to install in FAT. I've seen Redhat 7.1 had this option. Dunno about new versions. you can try Vmware for windows too.

Impossible. Linux uses ext2 or ext3 FS.

Re: is it possible..??
installing GNU/Linux on fat partns are possible many distros are also there supprting such things.what i meant was fat and even ntfs file systems needs defragmenting after sometime,-that most windows os users may be doing monthly/weekly(some ppl monthly format their windows and reinstall it!!!).now with any linux fs for eg ext2/3,reiserfs etc we dont find the need to do that! as Lin FS are much more efficient and fragment much less thus almost no need of defragmentation done.one more reason for servers and databases prefering Linux,FreeBSD etc

Oh ReiserFS was (is) default file system in OpenSUSE and AFAIK in SLED too.
As for JFS, I think its Journaling FIle System. like ext3, but I thought JFS is a feature of file system, not a file system in itself.

Re: is it possible..??
I think you can do it, using VM ware, it will create it's own file for that much space, and it will be done.
But you will be under windows tho you can use everything in linux.
