I tried to format the drive thru Win2K desktop PC with FAT32 format mode
but I got error message couldn't able to continue formatting.  I suspect
that this error is due to size limitation on FAT32, but I don't know the
exact size, my guess is 32Gb max maybe less.

Not FAT32--Max is 2 Terabytes:

Negative. While FAT32 may have a limit >32GB, Win2000 and WinXP can NOT format a FAT32 partition over 32GB (even though they can mount and use a parition that has already been formatted >32GB)

The limitation is imposed to get people to run a filesystem that doesn't suck.
