Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 19:18:40 -0700 I think I am the one you are addressing as the one with the 32MB partition, so I'll reply. If it wasn't me, never mind! I used the Disk Management tool in XP pro to create the partition at 32GB which is what you probably intended if I am not mistaken. I have a 60GB disk so the remainder is unallocated and wasted. As if I had 60 GB of music! Now that someone has indicated that Win98 will create a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB I'll try to find someone with Win98. I wonder if Win 2K is a little more generous than XP? "David Pedersen" <dav-ped_at_frisurf.no> wrote in message news:002201c59ce8$40f30020$6400a8c0_at_acerauy6ee8o5q... > Good enough!
