Fat/NTFS

[joseph_2166]

The wiki says that 'If the partition is too large, only the NTFS Quick/Slow options will be shown.' when installing XP. Anyone any idea at what size FAT becomes available? Or is it a matter of the percentage of your harddrive given over to one partition?

According to a microsoft file: "FAT partitions are limited in size to a maximum of 4 Gigabytes (GB) under Windows NT and 2 GB in MS-DOS. For additional information on this limitation " is this true?

No. 4GB is the maximum file size. Windows imposes a maximum of 32GB on FAT32 volumes, though, if created outside of windows, FAT32 can support up to 2TB

Works great for me...

I love being able to copy to/from the XP partition (FAT 32) with OS X!

I have had reboot problems after first part of install with FAT.
NTFS worked fine, btw.
