Yes you are right... I searched it and FAT32 isn't made for anything above 40 and thats where NTSF comes into play:beard:

Terry Newb Techie Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 19	I have a Westerb Digital 80gb 7200rpm HDD and use Fat32. I tried NTFS and Fat32 and ran benchmarks on cached and uncached speed etc. The NTFS didn't perform as well as the Fat32 file system. Therefore, I'll be sticking with Fat32.
