I've just bought a 250GB Hard Drive and am having a few problems
setting it up.

Are there any size issues with FAT32.


To make your partiion larger than 32GB you have a few options.

Boot off a win 9x boot disk and use commands - fdisk and format .

Trouble is it is in a USB box and the Win98 disk doesn't (I think)
support DOS USB.

oh,
format it within windows then. and resize within windows with partition
magic
it's probably already formatted anyway.

regarding USB enclosures (you called a usb box)

I don't see the need for USB Enclosures. I use an internal HDD with a
usb-ide adaptor. I guess maybe an enclosure is more secure
