usb drive partition
Hello. I bought a WD 500 GB external hard drive with a fat32
partition. Using the xp manage dialog, I wiped the partition and want to put a 250 gb partition. The new partition wizard will allow a 500 gb partition, but if I click the down arrow, it goes to 18 gb. If I type 250 gb, then it puts in 18 gb. Why won't this work? Thanks, IMF |

Thanks, IMF Use disk management and do not use FAT32. use NTFS. XP can only create up to a 32gig fat32 partition (don't know why you only got 18gigs though) |
