The XP "format" utility can't format partitions larger than 32G with FAT32. If you absolutely need to, you can use the H2format tool to overcome this limit. I just successfully created a 100G partition for data exchange! If you don't mind the output is in German, you can see this: C:\temp>h2format.exe n: H2format -- by Harald Bögeholz / c't Magazin für Computertechnik Version 1.6, Copyright (C) 2003 Heise Zeitschriften Verlag GmbH & Co. KG Partitionsgröße: 209712447 Sektoren = 100.0 GByte Standard-Clustergröße: 64 Sektoren. Anzahl der Cluster: 3275956 51284 Sektoren vom Dateisystem belegt (25.0 MByte). Setze Partitionstyp auf 0xc. Ok. I got the binary here: http://www.heise.de/ct/c-t-Systeminfo-473388.html, but this link may break at some later time. |
