Hey all - I'm getting a 250gb hard drive to store some files, and I need to partition this bad boy. I will need to be able to view/modify files in linux and windows as the drive will move about in an enclosure. I would use ntfs or etx3 if it was one os or the other, but as I need both, the only thing I can think of is FAT32.

My question is, will FAT allow me to create a single partition that big? If not, what would you all suggest doing.

Thanx! -Bill

I believe that max is 2TB however, I am not totally sure about that.

pretty sure that's right, but winblows only makes them 32gb as a way to push people into ntfs. Linux it is!
