Ed! Thank you very much. DUH as soon as I posted my message I realized that Win2K is configured that way as it is an OS built for FAT32 already as well as configuring it as an NTFS system within the Windows OS. When people tell you that something is like riding a bicycle tell them to ride the newest technology in bicycles and see how uncomfortable they are upon mounting it.
