Please read the FAQ: FAT32 vs NTFS.

 

[DarkManX]

hmm 128 gig limit, then why did it say the partion was to big when it finished formating?

 

[AndyHui]

Keep reading if you are using Win2K/WinXP.

 

[DarkManX]

[DarkManX]

[AndyHui]

Read the FAQ carefully. It's all there....

Yes, use a 98 bootdisk or one from bootdisk.com

Why not use NTFS?

 

[DarkManX]

woudnt i have to change all my other drives over then?

 

[AndyHui]

No.

it seems that somebody can't read well, or maybe they just missed the 32gig thing in it.
