Hi,

FAT32 is not limited 32GB or 64GB, the limt is 2TB.

I have 6 partition with FAT32:
- 10 GB, 100 GB and 120 GB on one fixed disk connected by IDE
- 230GB on a fixed disk connected by IDE
- 76 GB on a removable disk connected with USB (since 2 weeks) and
- 190 GB on a removable disk connected with USB (since 3 days).

When ejecting one of the USB devices I get an error message (the
device does not work). But I can read and write it without errors!

I use an eCS 1.0 with the latest USBBasic, USBMSD, OS2DASD. (All of
them 10.145?)

Procedure for the 76 GB USB disk:
- Wipe beginning area of the disk using DFS.
- Create Partitions under Win XP
- Format with h2format (ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/h2format.zip).
- Add LVM information under OS/2 with DFS.

Procedure for the 190 GB USB disk:
- Wipe beginning area of the disk using DFS.
- Create Partitions with LVM under OS/2 (includes adding LVM
information)
- Set type of partition unter OS/2 with DFS
- Create an image of the partition with f32blank
(http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/disk/f32blank.zip)
- Write the image onto the disk.

H2format is a program of a german computer magazine to bypass the
restrictions of MS Windows, which differ from version to version. It
runs under Win but not under OS/2 using ODIN.

I hope it helps.
