As the later posts indicate, you've gotten the answer you needed.  However,
I just wanted to point out that if you're using FAT32 just to be _more_
compatible with Linux (obviously current Linux installations support NTFS
for read/write so this is far less of an issue than it used to be), there
is the alternative of adding an Ext2/3 driver to Windows.  I use
<http://www.fs-driver.org/> but there are other alternatives too.
