Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
Authored by: nparkar on Jun 01, '04 05:40:02PM

Hi,

I have a 60G external drive(firewire/USB) which I want to fromat as FAT32 because I want to use it on a mac os X machine also. Is there any size limit on the size of a FAt32 partition? I tried to format it in Windows XP ,both from command prompt(using 'format' command) and Xp utility in Control panel.None of them worked.ON the command prompt I got message that the volume size is too big for FAT32 and there was no option for Fat32 in the XP utility(DiskManagement). Any clues on how I can do this? Also,I had to format as NTFS,assign the drive with a letter and then try FAT32 from command prompt,but it did not work.Thanks for any suggestions!!
