"In theory, FAT32 volumes can be about 8 terabytes; however, the maximum
FAT32 volume size that Windows XP Professional can format is 32 GB.
Therefore, you must use NTFS to format volumes larger than 32 GB.
However, Windows XP Professional can read and write to larger FAT32
volumes formatted by other operating systems."

&gt; &gt; Thanks but Fat32 supports a max partition size of 32 gigs.

&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;Hi folks,
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;I would like to write out 60+ gigs to an external USB drive and have an
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;NT box read drive.  I did some research on writing to NTFS and it doesn't
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;look promising.  Does any body know of a large file system Linux can
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;write to and Win2k/NT/XP can read?
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;What's wrong with fat32?  As I recall, it's max disk size is around 2
&gt; &gt;&gt;terabytes is it not?
&gt; &gt;
