It was either 8.4GB or 8.5GB, see https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk-4.html

Also, here's more info about those special DR-DOS kernels:

OEM DR-DOS 7.04/7.05: This issue of the kernel can be found within
     Ontrack's Easy Recovery 5 (2000-07-26) product and natively supports
     FAT32/LBA and thus does not require the external DRFAT32 driver any
     more, that shipped with Easy Recovery
