QPartedt FAT32 partition could not be read by W2K


Dont know if this issue cand be discussed here, but, heck, here i go:

I formated My Documents partition usine QParted. It was in NTFS, because Linux cannot write very well there, i used QParted to change from NTFS to FAT32. The fact is that after installing WIN2k, the partition shows empty! But there are a lot of files there! (in linux i can see, write and read all My Document's partion files).

Please my apologies if this matter cannot be discussed here.

It can be a size problem. I can be wrong, but the max size of a fat32 partiton is ~35G.
Can someone be more precise?

FAT32 files can be formated under WINXP up to 32 gb, but can be up to 8 terabytes in size.
