I knew I should have stuck with FAT32.


When Win 98 was using that, any crash would make a bunch of errors that
chkdsk would find. Now, it doesn't happen much at all. Also, you're
limited to 2 Gig maximum file size.


That was FAT16 that had a 2GB file size limit. FAT32 has a 4GB file size
limit. In both cases, minus 1 byte, but who's counting.

I agree with your observation on the frailty of FAT32. NTFS is much better
in that regard.
