What OS? IIRC, Win2000/XP won't format FAT32 drives larger than 32GB.

Instead, you can use a Win98 Startup Disk.

Worked fine, thnaks.

I found Maxblast and there are 2 of them. One is for a floppy and it works well.

The other is to be writen on a CD and it says on the site that it can also help with having a motherboard that doesnt see SATA drives as it [maxblast] can set up for that. How can it do that?
