pain and suffering part II
Took the drive I was trying to format into work yesterday. I dropped a firewire card into a Windows2000 machine. It saw the card just fine. Plug in the the drive and it sees it just fine. Try to format the drive and everything was no longer fine. Turns out MickeySoft intentionally crippled Win2000/XP to not be able to format drives greater than 32GB using FAT32. Nice. Thanks a lot. And, no, I don’t want to format it using NTFS thank you very much. Searched all over the lab for a Win98/ME machine to no avail.
I ended up taking it over to my parent’s house and doing the format there on my mom’s WinME machine. It worked first time no problems…*sigh*
