[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1617043, member: 234411"] Hey [B]Guys[/B] - I'm now a little confused, i.e. I thought that the 'volume' limitation for FAT32 was 2 TB (see attachment - [URL="http://www.cnet.com/how-to/the-best-ways-to-format-an-external-drive-for-windows-and-mac/"]Source[/URL]). Thus, for the OP's 3 TB HD, FAT 32 cannot format the drive as one volume or partition, BUT can 2 partitions be setup and then each formatted as FAT 32? Just curious - Dave :) .
