nt and long filenames on fat32
Oddly, the other two drives (one 9gig and one 18gig) which had a mix of logical FAT16 and primary FAT32 partitions received type x'05' for the extended partition! I upgraded it to the latest 4.18 using their FLASH program and everything works fine. But whereas the Adaptec 2940U2W BIOS facilitated setting Write

Lilo & FAT32
RH5.1 and all linux's with kernel 2.0.34 and later can mount fat32. I've done it. Works fine.

FAT32, NTFS, EXT2 >8GB Limit -- YES!!! WAS: partition magic 3
It says that, but it works fine, they were just covering their ass. FAT32 remove the DOS compatibility (whuch is FAT16), so any DOS program will no longer run (or Not true at all, as long as your dos-version supports FAT32 partitions, it will work fine. So use DOS 7.1! I did not install FAT32 and do not plan to

But this is their own doing--they could create one for FAT32 if they wanted to. So they split the difference and provide two partions with the C: in FAT16 and the D: in The puter works fine with one big HD and fat 32.

FAT32 2G Barrier
A Google search seems to indicate that DI 4.0 works fine with XP betas provided NTFS isn't being used. Can someone please confirm whether the final release of XP using FAT32 works fine with DI 4.0? When I am using Drive Image 4.0 it is always from a boot disk. This is for either a backup or a restore.

Which external hard drive?
Once it does get recognised, it works fine. Just sometimes it can take several minutes after you plug it in before that happens. 2) Many external drives will be formated as FAT32 for compatability with Linux & Mac. You might want to reformat that to NTFS so you can hold large files. (FAT32 is limited to 2gig.

"find" does not work with FAT32 partitions?
request is error 01 (bad request); on floppies it works fine...

The compiler functions you are referring to are valid for 16 bit

Q 400Gb HDD with Windows 98/ME
That seems odd considering that most (if not all) FAT32 partitions use VFAT, which stores creation and access times as well as modification times. Try "ls -al --time=ctime" (again with time=mtime, time=atime) to see what I mean. Works fine for me (except that --time=mtime doesn't exist, just use -t).

You can only A/B NTFS against FAT32 in an identical setup under Win2K; when comparing NT4.0 to Win9x, make sure the setups are equivalent. Works fine, plays just dandy in the Windows Media Player. In fact, it'll play on my Win9x machine over the network, just fine. Clearly in streaming mode, the player doesn't

External Hard Drive
What are the limits of a DOS / FAT32 format? How does one go about installing such a large hdd for use with 98/Me. Its a modern BIOS.

HDD problem: won't partition over 8GB. FAT32 works
It "extended" my extended partition and the logical FAT32 in it to finish off the disk (and added a little more space for an additional Linux swap partition). Even though the partition table is now beyond the BIOS's capability to understand, it works fine. Linux FDISK warns me of this, but it is still able to

HDD problem: won't partition over 8GB. FAT32 works
I think that is because they did not know what they were doing, all my latest usb equipment works fine on both Win95 and Win98, there is no reference to FAT32 (no converter) so i don't think FAT32 works, something else i could try i suppose. John.
