Subject:	SCOUG-Help: large hard drive

I replaced my 80GB usb hard drive with a 200 GB hard drive (used for
backups).

I had no trouble reading and writing to the 80 GB drive (fat 32) under
OS/2 using the fat32.ifs drivers. However, the 200 GB drive cannot be read
by OS/2 when formatted as fat 32. When changed to ntfs, it can then be
read (however, it can no longer be written to).

Not being able to write to the drive is a minor inconvenienc as my backup
software is proprietary. But I wonder if there is some way to reformat the
drive as fat 32 and be able to read it under OS/2. DFSEE seems limited in
its ability to do anything with the drive. Are there special drivers that
I need, or is this just a limitation of fat 32?

Thanks,
Sandy
