Large FAT32 partitions
Authored by: prowler on Apr 06, '03 07:24:22AM

The limit for FAT32 is 32Gb. I recently bought a Lacie 120Gb FireWire drive (really cool stuff) which I want to use on both my powerbook and my windows server. Like most of you I don't like to have 4 partitions on one drive.
I use the whole disk as HFS+ (just one partitition) which works great for the mac (off course) but also on my Win2k server. The trick is installing Macdrive.

Now your windows machine recognizes the drive instantly (also giving it a drive icon with a nice little red apple). reading / writing ... works like a charm.
