| 563036 | 2007-06-26 01:33:00 | Well u could format it in NTFS if ME knew what it was. But u cant since it doesnt. Does the BIOS see all of the hdd?? |

| 563038 | 2007-06-26 01:57:00 | any ideas? | KiwiLinc (6595) | ||
| 563039 | 2007-06-26 02:05:00 | This (support.microsoft.com) could be one reason. A BIOS update might help. Is the mobo old? |

| 563041 | 2007-06-26 05:15:00 | you may have to partition that drive also, Fat32 only sees up 32gig partitions unless overlay software is used. | beama (111) | ||
| 563042 | 2007-06-26 05:52:00 | [QUOTE=beama;564418... also, Fat32 only sees up 32gig partitions unless overlay software is used.[/QUOTE] Is that a WME restriction? I have a couple of 60GB FAT32 partitions here on XP. |

| 563043 | 2007-06-26 06:05:00 | 32GB was a hardware limitation on older motherboards or a FAT32 formating limit in XP because MS wanted you to use NTFS. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 563044 | 2007-06-26 06:08:00 | Windoze wont format FAT32 bigger than 32gb However.. Programs like Partition Magic will happily format any size drive to whatever file system you want ( including fat32 ) If you dont have a copy of Partition Magic - you could always boot from a linux Live CD and use QTparted or Gnome Partition Editor to format that drive - yes they will do FAT32 as well :) |
