Hi,

I have a question about Hard drive partitioning.  I presently have about 
132GB of "OTR" (Old time radio programs) that reside on both a 320GB drive 
in my computer AND on a 250GB external drive, both formatted as NTFS.  A 
local friend wants me to copy this for him, but "prefers" FAT32 so the files 
can also be read under Win98.

I'm under the impression that FAT32 can only be partitioned up to 32GB and 
that there is a maximum number of FAT32 partitions that a drive can have.

Anybody know FOR SURE how many FAT32 partitions a drive can have and how 
large they can be?
