316505 - Windows XP Does Not Recognize All Available Disk Space


NOTE: You cannot create a volume larger than 32 GB in size by using the FAT32 file system in Windows XP. The Windows 2000 FastFAT driver can mount and support volumes larger than 32 GB that use the FAT32 file system (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create one by using the Format tool. This behavior is by design. (See Method 3 in this article for more information about this issue.)
