It has been that way since Win2000. They never fixed it for "certain reasons". (Performance mostly.) Some reasons and limitations are listed in the following:

Re: [H] FAT32 under WinXPSP2

I thought WinXP had an internal "size limit" of 32G to force (well gently prod??) people into using NTFS. But, IF "something else" formats it, (third party app.), xp will use larger sizes. I never hit the "top limit" someone else mentioned since I like smaller partitions for back-up reasons...

This is a function of your Software (and Twain driver). I use Paperport 6 and/or 7, and in the advanced settings (I hit that button on the actual "preview screen" window) I look for a selection -- "descreen". Works for me. It also makes half-tone B&W newspaper photos scan correctly since they als

Guess I left some stuff out.I have MCE and I downloaded the XP version starting with Nov 06 which was mentioned here as the most recent comprehensive version. I *think* it started doing it right from that one. As for Betas, I usually stay away from them, if there was an installer, it must've

of course, you can't format a folderbut neither of my systems will offer the option for a FAT32 format via right click on a drive icon... even disk administrator won't do it. And that's for a lowly 40 GB drive, too. I could drop to a command box and get it done with the format e: /fs:fat32

You need to remember that Windows XP does not support FAT32 drives over 132GB natively. In fact I have found drives formatted in FAT32 over 132GB do have a tendency to corrupt. BTW, hello all... :) Tim "The Beave" Lider E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message

Okay, the plot thickens. It turns out that the keys can be read on every windows system EXCEPT mine. Which makes it a WinXP problem and not a Linux one. Anyone know why XPSP2 would detect and map a usb key but claim it is unformatted? The issue with mounting in Ubuntu is probably related to th
