AFAIK FAT32 has an upper limit of 127GB. which means you need lots of partitions.
This is an artifact of Microsoft's brilliant choices. Windows was shipped with the registry setting for Large Drive Support turned off... thus the 127 GB limitation. You could get around this by changing the registry setting, thereby enabling you to format a single partition larger than 127 GB.... or you could install Linux which didn't have this brain dead setting, and is not limited by BIOS knowledge of drives over a predetermined size. :-) I have no idea if this is still an issue with XP SP2. Windows only supports creating FAT32 partitions up to 32GB (although they can read/write FAT32 partitions over 32GB) FAT32 has a file size limitation... you cannot write a single file larger than 4GB... so your 8GB double layer DVD ISOs cannot be stored on a FAT32 partition.
