Not really. Can anyone confirm that the fat32 limit is indeed 2GB? You can get ext2 drivers for M$, but they're commercial and not cheap (google for it). > I remember something > about there being write support for NTFS from linux now Don't even think about it! Read support doesn't even work in some rare cases (of course I hit one just the time I really need it to work). Writing to ntfs will be followed by a format. The setup time for ntfs on the Linux side is zero, just mount it. By default it will be read-only. If you need to swap files between windows and linux, limit yourself to 2GB or go via a samba share set up on some Linux box (the same or another). Forking out for a bigger disk might also solve your problem.
