Linux Recently I stumbled across a very nice article, written by Torsten Scheck, published on pro-linux.de, a German Linux site. This article proved to be so helpful to me that I decided it would be worthwhile to translate it into English and republish it. Comments of the translator will be added in italics. I hope a lot of people will find this little gem as useful as I did...

If this is true, then... does anyone know WHY the windows XP installer refuses to let you format a partition larger than 32GB with a FAT32 fs??

Firstly because FAT32 isn't particularly efficient at larger sizes (*huge* clusters) and secondly to encourage people to use NTFS.
