Just installed a 120GB Samsung SpinPoint P80. Created 3 partitions: C (~5GB, FAT32), D (~55GB, FAT32), & E (~55GB, FAT32). I know DOS has issues with partions/drives of ~2GB+, however, when I check the contents of D & E under DOS, no data is shown even though there's several GB of data (which is available in W2K) on both. Although I have much smaller drives on my other systems (20GB in one, 30 in another), the partitions are still greater than 2GB and yet the contents are available in DOS. Shouldn't some of the data on D and E be available in DOS (like on my other systems), or is this just not possible due to the sheer size of the drive and last two partitions?

TIA>
