Ironic, because my SOP for messed-up FAT32 drives these days
is to plug it into an XP bench system and chkdsk and defrag
it there.
What probably happened is that the drive had hardware
problems, which no software can do much more than help, not
ever totally fix.

Not at all.

One big one: Rarely if ever do you have to wait out a CHKDSK
at boot. If it does happen its almost a rule that the drive
is failing from a hardware standpoint. I routinely just pull
the plug on idle XP systems.
