Windows 2000 formats FAT32 volumes only up to 32GB in size. This limitation stems from memory constraints in recovery utilities such as Autochk.

Can anyone elaborate in recovery utilities, such as Autochk?

Thank You.

To my knowledge not being able to format past 32 GB lies in that of the FAT32 file system Same reason why your floopy disk is formated as FAT instead of FAT32 because the FAT file system has size limitations as does the FAT32. If it was a memory problem then the problem would happen on a NTFS file system also .
