AFAIK.... FAT has a maximum limit upto 32 GB drives. Anyone knows how I can format those 40 GB partitions in FAT32 format?

OR... can there be any problem in future if i format those two 40 GB partitions in NTFS while my system drive is in FAT32 itself?

Suggestions pls!
First of all get PartitionMagic or other similar partition programs. Forget about MS fdisk. FAT32 limit is approx: 2terabytes, win98 has a limit of ~130gb for FAT32. 40GB is no issue for FAT32.
