You have something like 33% slack on that drive with FAT32... ~66GB wasted!

Nope. Shows something like 180GB+.

I have a FAT32 Partition in my disk to share with other non-NTFS machines...pretty common here where I live...

Turned out, his hard drive had died a while back and the "tech" Dell sent to replace it installed WinME onto a 2GB FAT16 partition, leaving the rest of the 40GB drive unpartitioned. Some people shouldn't be allowed near a computer with a screwdriver. Good thing I still had a copy of Partition Magic on me.
