sorry not really a VB question but is a problem
ive got a primary slave drive 80GB partitioned as fat32, as i require to view in dos as well as win 2K,
i recently had a problem where the fat tables got corrupted, does fat32 support a 80GB in Win 2000 and if not how should i partition the drive?
My primary master drive is 20GB and is ok,
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure of the exact amount that FAT32 is limited to.
But I'd take a wild guess and say it's larger than any HD they make currently.
Of course, NTFS is better, but we both knew that!

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think that the classic DOS supports FAT32

Convert to NTFS and then use NTFSDOS (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml)
