200 gb hdd partitions

[Jared Stofflett]

Here is how it works. The maximum partition size of a fat32 partation is
something like 8tb Windows 98 and mellenium can only support partition sizes
of up to 137 gigs, unless you install a special card. Windows 2000 and xp
can support partition sizes larger then 137 gigs if a registry patch is
applied. Hope this helps.

hi,
if I remember corectly using fat32 you can't make a partition larger than 32
GB so you would need about 5 partitions do do that. I would use ntfs for
windows or what ever file system linux uses by default.  I don't know the
name of the one linux uses.  I am mostly a windows person at the moment.

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.
