I believe that windows xp and 2000 only support fat32 partitions of maximum 32GB. I have been wrestling with this problem with a 160GB USB drive, and just stumbled across this limitation. I was experiencing all kinds of bizarre problems with partitioning and which OS could recognize it. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Raul A.

I have a 200 gb hdd which I'd like to format as fat32 so that I can read/write to and from Linux and Windows. Is it safe to partition such a large size as one partition or should I break it down to smaller ones like perhaps 2 or 3 partitions for the whole drive? Thanks. - -- Raul A.
