Re: [Plug] That idiotic cylinder 1024 problem


Not so. If you spend about $30, you can download an NT driver that allows it to
read and write Fat32. It's called "Fat32 for Windows NT 4.0" and it's from
www.sysinternals.com. I use it, and it works flawlessly. They also have a
utility that allows W98 to do the same thing with NTFS. Win2k can read/write
Fat32 out of the box.
