I recently bought an 250GB Iomega external USB Hard drive to use for backups on my Linux box.
The drive came already formatted FAT32 for the whole drive. Part of the Utilities disk was a utility to run under Windows (Iomega FAT32 Formatter.exe). This works fine under 2000/XP - which can not format large FAT32 partions on their own. Partition Magic also works fine for large FAT32 partitions, but the version I have doesnt do USB disks...I beleive the latest version does though. For me FAT32 is the best solution for removable storage - you can plug it into both Windows and Linux boxes without issue (don't know about Macs tho...) -- Browny http://www.last.fm/user/BrownySV/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23996 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
