XP can handle FAT32 drives fine. Lots of other systems can handle FAT32. Not so much with NTFS.
XP (and W2K) won't format a drive over 30Gig to FAT32. Moreover, they waste an hour of your time pretending to work before telling you (in a very obscure way) that they failed. Partition Magic doesn't have the misguided 30G boundary (which is a marketing, not a technical, boundary) and so can make large drives FAT32 just fine. I suppose, for general purpose storage, there might be a reason to go to NTFS for large file systems. But for music files of 1MB+ each, I don't think they apply. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19012 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
