Thanks, everyone!! I needed structure. I have one 300GB drive in an enclosure that I've been using the past year. Unfortunately, I formatted it Reiser, and it is a pain to load, use and is almost useless on my Win2K/XP machines, because I have to load this reiser2nfts utility. I didn't think Fat32 was able to handle drives bigger than 2GB, so I figured that was out of the question. I'll research futher. Maybe I can split it 150 ext2 and 150 fat32.
