Format large Fat32 volumes in Panther
FAT32 can't store file larger then 4GB-1, which makes it pretty much useless for me because I cannot save DVD images or large backups on it. So I just bought macdrive and installed it on all my windows boxes - not that flexible, but now I can read/write HFS+ volumes right from windows and it's freaking fast with firewire drives (faster then PowerBook G4 1Ghz, to be honest) plus you get an access to mac formated iPods from windows. Apple should distribute this program as part of Mac OS X and iPods :)

Have you had any problems since installing MacDrive? A coworker of mine has it on his XP box, and ever since, his AV software has failed to download and install updates. Just wondering if you'd encountered any odd side effects of using the MacDrive software.

I don't have an XP, only windows 2000 and with this system macdrive never created a single problem for me. I'm using it with two different firewire drives (with different bridging controllers) and iPod. If you have doubts I'd suggest to download a trial version and try it.

In addition to this problem noted, also be aware that other version of OS X, namely 10.2.x, cannot mount a FAT32 formatted disc with a volume larger than 128GB; anything larger will not mount. |
