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

&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks, I was not aware of that.

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