It suports IDE, but not 48bit LBA, which is required for drives greater than 137GB. Using Windows 98 obviously opens up other issues – It doesn’t support USB 2.0 or SATA as far as I know. Another option is to start from a Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Startup disk and use the Format tool included on the disk. If you need to format a volume that is larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system to format it. Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB by using the Format tool during Setup. You cannot format a volume larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size using the FAT32 file system during the Windows XP installation process. In fact, NTFS can only be written safely by Windows XP – there are as far as I know no other drivers for other OS’s, unlike FAT which is supported by virtually anything. I could use NTFS, but that’s not what I FATlib supports. It turns out that Windows XP won’t let you format a volume bigger than 32GB with FAT32. I recently got a SATA 250GB disk for testing FATLIB. Note If you find fat32format a bit fiddly to use or these instructions a bit hard to follow you should try the replacement for fat32format.
