[QUOTE="macq32, post: 5131981, member: 599367"] Right, a FAT32 is limited to 32GB per partition. I downloaded partition magic (norton software). The 32GB resitriction is set my windows, fat32 is fully capable of being any size (that i know of), no idea why windows restricts it. Anyway I formatted to a fat32 successfully with partition magic for the full 95+ GB's and the drive is being seen as a "Basic" drive, not removable. Sorry, could you tell me what 500ma means? or what MA is. There is no power supply needed, it is bus powered. (works the same as a usb in that regard). As for the cable, what did you use to get around it, I do have a cable that is maybe a foot long. The drive itself connects to a mini usb2.0, what was your alternative to the long cord? That might be my problem!? Sorry I cant help you with the text, really have no clue what's causing that, something in the HD im sure, but i have no idea what the cause would be or how to go about fixing it. Thanks for the help The other concern other that the wire is the "basic vs removable issue". But The kenwood book says not to use cords or something so that might work, so that might be a good starting place. [/QUOTE]
