200 gb hdd partitions

I had trouble with my 120 GB Maxstor drive, and I had to use a program
called MaxBlast3 to configure it first.
There are other such programs out there for this too.
If it is a maxstor drive, then this program is for you.  It might also work
on some other brands of drives.

I believe that windows xp and 2000 only support fat32 partitions of
maximum 32GB.  I have been wrestling with this problem with a 160GB
USB drive, and just stumbled across this limitation. I was
experiencing all kinds of bizarre problems with partitioning and which
OS could recognize it.

Speaking of partitions.  I have a 200 gb hdd which I'd like to format
as fat32 so that I can read/write to and from Linux
and Windows.  Is it safe to partition such a large size as one
partition or should I break it down to smaller ones like
perhaps 2 or 3 partitions for the whole drive?

Thanks.
