    windows 2000

    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
