FAT32 started its life with Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98 and Windows ME. Since then, every Microsoft operating system supports it. However, NT4 does not support FAT32.

The only suggestion I can think of off hand is to check and make sure the formatting is correct on the drive.  Use HFS+, unless you want to do multi-platform transfers, then go with FAT 32.

firstly install OS with 10 GB as primary partition and leave the left extended patition untouched. After installation of os(in case windos xp) goto control panel>administrative tools>computer management>Disk management...and then create logical partitions following the steps....\n\n1)Right click on extended partition Shown.\n2)Then Click on New logical Drive.\n3)Select partition type(Extende,primary,Logical).\n4)Put the size of Partition as needed by you.\n5)Select drive letter(Recommende:-leave it default).\n6)Select format of file system(NTFS,FAT).\n\nand click on next.\nthe drive will be created.

Yes in newer versions of Windows, type the following at a command prompt:\n\nconvert c: /fs:ntfs\n\nJust make sure it's something you want to do.

Format the partition back to FAT32 or NTFS. You can do this by using your windows installation CD or if you know to use the FDISK command (Windows or Linux)\n\nIf that doesn't work you can use a partitioning tool like Ranish partition manager(Free) - http://www.ranish.com/part/ or Partition Magic(Commercial) to format the Linux partition(s)

FAT and NTFS are different disk formats/file systems. NTFS is more stable and more secure than FAT and allows the storage of larger files than can be stored on FAT. NTFS was meant to be used for Win 2000 up. NTFS formatted media cannot work on a FAT formatted system. However, FAT formatted media can work on both FAT and NTFS. That's why usb drives are FAT formatted.\n\nWin XP is the version of windows after Win 2000. Don't remember where Win Me comes in, but stay away from it. One of the biggest differences between Win 2000 and Win XP is the massive driver support available in Win XP. You can connect almost any device without needing to install the driver.

You can use a linux live CD to format almost any partition scheme you want (live meaning that the OS runs off of a CD), here is one I use regularly, it has saved my computer/data several times, you will need a CD burner, and burning software that can burn .ISO disc image files (like NERO, or Record Now!):\nhttp://slax.linux-live.org/\n\nIf you want to completely wipe/zero out your hard drive, you can use this software (note that your hardrive will be completely erased, and all data on it will be unrecoverable, even by the best professionals):\nhttp://dban.sourceforge.net/\n\n............AND\ngojurokusai, I know what you are talking about, what it is saying, is that if you have formated a drive as NTFS, you cannot change it back to FAT32 without loosing data, however, you can "upgrade" your EXISTING FAT32 to NTFS without loosing any data, not to say that you cannot completely erase/reformat a NTFS partition, however you will loose all data... But with the proper tools, you can now go back to FAT32 from NTFS...\n\nWhich brings up a good point, if your willing to cough up about 40-60$, you can easily do about anything, with any kind of partition you can imagine, this is probably the easiest route to go, The utility is "Partition Magic", and it is made by "Norton/Symantec". Here is a link to the product:\nhttp://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/system_performance/pm80/index.html\n\n..and if that don't help you, PRAY!\n\nBest of Luck!

Depends on which Nix you are using. Most have good support for mounting Fat 16 and 32 partitions. Linux has good support for NTFS partitions at least read only. Some distros you have to recompile the kernel as NTFS support doesn't come compiled by default. \n\nEmail me with the details and I'd be glad to point you to the right place to mount it if your trying to do NTFS. If it's fat just man mount and you have the syntax.

Fat-16 was used mostly with windows 95\nFat-32 is used for windows 98/98se\nIs best to use Ntfs with windows xp

I'm assuming that you have it installed already and correctly, meaning you set the jumpers correctly.  First, right click on my computer, select manage, select disk management, right click on your new hard drive.  Initialize it.  Once you initialize it you can set up your partitions from there.

Assuming you used followed all steps in the Windows XP setup you will most likely have formatted the drive in an NTFS file system. Unfortunately 98 uses FAT32 file system and they are incompatible. To install 98 you will have to format and start from scratch using a win 98 CD. I have to agree with the others though going to 98 is a major step backwards, stick with XP. If your desperate to change OS either go to linux or wait for vista which is just around the conrer

Yes, this is very easy. Get your external HD kit and it should have instructions for you. It will guide you through he process.
