OK. Then we can FDISK the lighters.

FDisk may be the perfect tool in AlumiuN's case. If he's got an old system, running FAT16/32, then why not use FDisk?

@r.u.s.s. - Your statement (above) is generally correct, looking at the tools available to us today. But, in an attempt to start a fight with you (not really ), your previous statement that FDisk is, and was always, useless, isn't correct. At one time, it was the defacto tool for drive partitioning. At the same time, there were no lighters.

Yay! Someone not slagging FDisk! (I actually have 3 systems running FAT32 and one running FAT16, plus the computer I put together for my friend and the old one of his I fixed are both FAT32)

Be as it may, FDisk seems to have problems with creating larger partitions. That's why I always use PPM now.

That's because FAT has problems with having larger partitions. The max size for FAT16 was only 2GB. :S

Not quite. FAT32 deals fine with 120 GB partitions... yet FDISK has problems creating such.

Probably because it's a 16-bit DOS program. Even then, though, it deals fine with sizes it shouldn't really be able to comprehend...
