I only tried Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Windows 2000 gave me no
chance to format the drive with Fat32 (but it took up a lot of time
before it told me so ;-) ). I also had some problems with Windows XP
but finally it worked (but that may also be due to the fact that the
imagetank should have partitioned and formatted the drive itself - as
much as I remember at one time I formatted the drive with NTFS and
then let the imagetank do the rest).
