I have found a way to trick WinXP into using Partitions
bigger then 32GB. I have been using a 60GB Fat32 partition
on WinXP for over 4 months now and I haven't had a single
problem. This is how you do it.
1
get a Win98 boot disk
2 boot from boot disk and run Fdisk
3 partition the drive to what size you want up to
120GB
4 reboot the computer off of the Win98 boot disk
5 format the drive
6 boot the computer off of the WinXP CD
7 proceed to install the WinXP.
8 When WinXP ask you what partition to install to
choose the disk you just formated it will give you
an several option dealing with NTFS don't pay them
any mind and choose the last option which is to install
WinXP to current drive without making any changes.
WinXp will proceed to install normally and you will
have WinXP installed to a fully functional FAT32 Partition
greater then 32GB. WinXP can use larger then 32GB
partitions M$ intentionally limited the Fdisk portion
WinXP to push people to the Realm of NTFS.
