yeah, I found the option I think it is: MSDOSFS_LARGE
I read that it isn't recommended, so im trying to convert it to another FS so that I don't have to use that option. The problem is that I think im gonna need another HDD to move the files too while I change the FS on the one I have... unless there is a way to convert from one FS to another...... I'm only using 170GB of the 400GB hdd, I tried to put the hdd on my windows machine and run Partition Magic on it to resize the partition, then create a unix partition and move the files. but aparently PM only supports hdd of 300GB and smaller so I can't resize it.

I'm certainly not an expert, but Google your error message, and you will find that you need to work some magic with your kernal to access a fat32 partition bigger than 128GB.
