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 but there are other alternatives too. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
