How do I get around the 32 GB limit XP imposes for Fat 32 hard drives?
Although I would not recommend creating a Fat 32 hard drive partition larger than 32 GB. Many queries are made and some confusion exists about how to create a Fat 32 drive or partition larger than 32 GB. Plain and simple you cannot do it from Windows XP, you will need to partition the 32GB + hard drive using fdisk from a Win 98/Me startup disk or preferably a custom boot disk from www.bootdisk.com or Here with all the necessary MS-DOS utilities needed for emergency or hard drive maintenance.
