[QUOTE="geekboy2000, post: 203605, member: 15055"] I should know the answer to this as a long time Windows user, but I'm not certain. Here goes though: Will XP SP2 even allow you to format a local drive FAT32? It may at installation, but from experience, every drive I've added to my XP SP2 box has had to be formatted NTFS. No FAT32 option at all from Disk Management. Maybe it's the size of the drives I used . . I'm not sure. But I recall actually having to use my Mac to format a drive (single partition) as FAT32. XP wouldn't do it. Mark [/QUOTE]
