I think you will find it's more like 4gb (Minus 2 bytes if you wanna be exact!)for a single file size on a fat32 partition.If you run Win2k (Or any other OS that supports NTFS!) this limitation is removed as long as you format your hard disk using NTFS!
Hope this helps?

For some reason 60gb rings a bell for max file size in Win2k.
As for filesystem, many terabytes.
Its all due to the limitations of 32-bit and 64-bit addressing.

think ive managed to find some answers while troughing the net and looking at your replies.
fat16 = 2gb.
fat 32 = 4gb.
ntfs = unlimited (obviously depends on hd installed etc).
cheers for your help guys.
