Quick question. I read the Win2000 optimization guide. From that I think the OS hardrive gets formatted NTFS(?) and the sound drive gets FAT32. The harddrives are Deskstar 120gxps. Tring to format the sound drive FAT32. I keep getting errors that say the volume is too big. Does Fat32 have some limitation? The drives are 40gig. I went ahead a formatted it as NTFS(?) to make sure that something worked. That worked fine.

You know..I need to change that optimization guide on that aspect. I reccomend going with NTFS for two reasons..
One...file security from internet hackers!
Two...if you accidentally erase data you can use a program called Restorer2000 or UndeletePro to recover those files!

There isnt any performance difference between the two anyways. NTFS it is!
FAT32 does have a 32GB limitation so that may be the issue at hand. You can format drives larger than 32GB as FAT32 but I can't remember what the issue was to get it to work properly.
