Bob, that is not a true statement about FAT32 and Windows XP. There is a
32gb limit but that limit is only if you have to format a partition during
the install of XP. See article below:

Just trying to keep the facts straight.
And I think NTFS is older than FAT32 but I wouldn't stake my life on that
one.

Actually, the FAT filesystem is a lot older than NTFS, but FAT32 is an
extension of the FAT system and is newer than the earlier NTFS filessytems,
but NOT the NTFS filesystem in XP as this is version 5.1 (IIRC) and is an
improvement over earlier versions and is newer than FAT32. Confused? I'm
not surprised.......
