Hi all,

  I know that I can format a 'vfat' partition up to 32GB in linux and MS
Win2k will be able to read/write it. In Linux, I can create a vfat
partition quite large (ie: a the full 250GB of my drive) but win2k says
it's not formatted. I tried to format it under win2k but of course it
dies (at the end of a full format) saying that the partition is too big.

  So, has anyone found a way to format a 'vfat' partition larger than 32GB
in Linux in a way that will let MS use it? I know this is probably a
long shot...

Thanks!

Madison
