First at all: please, include into quote only relevent part, not all original letter, including service parts. Second: _FAT32_ is _not_ limited to 40 Gb. This limitation may be applied to some rude operating system, but FAT32 _file system_ itself is limited by 2 Tb. Easy arithmetics: 32-bit FAT entries mean 2^32 clusters (4G) clusters. With 32 kb (2^15) for each cluster, we may have 2^47 bytes (read: 128 Tb). But remember, that sector counters in file system descriptors limited to 32 bits and this restricts FAT32 by 512 bytes*2^32=2^41 bytes (2 Tb). --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Second, FDISK also supports all new protocols, so you shouldn't have problems with partitioning. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
