Here is how it works. The maximum partition size of a fat32 partation is something like 8tb Windows 98 and mellenium can only support partition sizes of up to 137 gigs, unless you install a special card. Windows 2000 and xp can support partition sizes larger then 137 gigs if a registry patch is applied. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Roy Nickelson Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 6:35 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: 200 gb hdd partitions hi, if I remember corectly using fat32 you can't make a partition larger than 32 GB so you would need about 5 partitions do do that. I would use ntfs for windows or what ever file system linux uses by default. I don't know the name of the one linux uses. I am mostly a windows person at the moment.

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.
