Thanks, everyone!!

I needed structure. I have one 300GB drive in an enclosure that I've been 
using the past year. Unfortunately, I formatted it Reiser, and it is a pain 
to load, use and is almost useless on my Win2K/XP machines, because I have to 
load this reiser2nfts utility.

I didn't think Fat32 was able to handle drives bigger than 2GB, so I figured 
that was out of the question. I'll research futher.

Maybe I can split it 150 ext2 and 150 fat32.  

Thanks again!!!
