Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Large FAT32

Content Type: text/plain

I have a 500G IDE. I think HPFS has been limited to maybe 50-64G in my
past attempts. So I tried FAT32. I did a single partition, 5x100,
10x50 and settled on 3 about equal. I used DFSee for all partitioning
and formating. All configurations I tried seemed to read and write OK
under DOS and OS/2.

It is in my storage box which is running W4. I copied a bunch of JPG
and video files over the P-P and all seemed OK. I then tried to copy
the video files to another of the three partitions. Some of the files
are over 1G. I get transfer rates of 1M BPS, and any of several file
managers is likely to freeze or close if I select more than one file at
a time.

All my HDDs are front panel plug in. I plugged it into my primary
machine and booted W2K to see if maybe it's FAT32 was any better. It
does not see any of the drive.

Is all this to be expected?

I might consider JFS for the storage box and not put Win on it, if that
would function better.

Ray
