Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2004 16:29:52 +0100 There is not a 32gig limit on Fat32, but Windows XP (and maybe 2000) will refuse to format a larger drive than this. The solution is to either use Win98 to format, or to get a (free) 3rd party utility which allows you to format such a large drive Fat32. Its not really a problem. g ----- Original Message ----- From: "sophana" <jobarjo78_at_yahoo.fr> To: "Gary" <flgants_at_earthlink.net>; "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 4:09 PM Subject: Re: Newb question about external HD's (non-aol) but still newb > I think there should be no problem for formatting through usb, just do > it as for any drive in windows. > maybe check the list for hd compatibility problems. > fat32 has a 32gb limit for size also?

Can it be installed, then formatted? If there isnt a program to do this, I dont have the knowledge to do it. I honestly never heard of fat32 until this list. That should show you my tech skill level. > > > >Gary > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: sophana <jobarjo78_at_yahoo.fr> > >Sent: Jun 16, 2004 8:41 AM > >To: Gary <flgants_at_earthlink.net>, Rockbox development <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> > >Subject: Re: Newb question about external HD's (non-aol) but still newb > > > >Why don't you buy a larger hard drive for your archos? > >80Gigs will host your 700 cds. > > > >Gary wrote: > > > > > > > >>Is it possible to program the archos to read from another external HD? I use my AJBRv2 for mostly home stereo stuff. I have over 700 cd's that I would love to rip and get rid of. Is this do-able? My stereo is in another room from my computer, so just patching them together just doesnt seem feasible. > >> > >>Gary > >> > >> > >>_______________________________________________ > >>http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-06-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
