<< > Have you used or seen anything about XP? XP limits the FAT32 partition size to 32GB.

The limitation, as I recall, is that the formatter won't format a disk like that. The file system will read drives upto the size the filesystem can handle. The limitation is due to the file allocation size getting huge on the larger drives.

Good call. XP will not format a FAT32 partition greater than 32GB. Thats what I meant, it just didnt come out that well 😛
