You can get what you want, but you need to set the drive up for it.
Windows XP limits the size of a FAT32 drive to 32Gbytes when
formatting, they want you to use NTFS.
I have a 250 gig drive formatted FAT32 in Windows.
Might be a version thing. Last time I went to do this, Win XPP *would
not* allow me to create a volume greater than 32Mbytes with its
supplied utilities. Third party utilities would but I didn't have any
to work with. That was about three years ago or more, and I don't use
Winders myself, so I don't know what the current capabilities are.
I know Mac OS X will format FAT32 partitions up to at least a 250G
drive's capacity.
