It's Microsoft that's the problem on this end. Win2k/XP will not allow
you to create a FAT32 partition bigger then 32GB. There is NO technical
reason for this, it's simply MS shoving NTFS down our throats. The
interesting bit is if you create a FAT32 partition bigger then 32GB with
another tool, both 2K and XP will have ZERO problem using it!

Ahh, the beauty of alternate OS's...
