Thought about it, and discarded it. IIRC, there is a ~32GB partition
limit for FAT32. Or at least WinXP won't create them bigger than that.
Considering the files I'll be storing, I don't want to deal with 3+
different partitions on the external drive. :)
Time for a number check:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT32 claims 4GB filesize, and 8TB partition
size. the 32GB partition limit is a WinXP-ism to make people use NTFS.
I stand corrected. And this time I don't mind being told I'm wrong...;-)
And if you're like me (don't trust Wikipedia as far as you can throw
it) here's the info from MS directly...

I think I may just use FAT32 then... :) And yes, I am aware of the fact
that FAT32 does nothing with user permissions...
