For some time now my second drives have been storage and they are a 
single extended with the first 8G (1024) a single FAT32 partition.  I 
create and format them with PM 3.05 which thinks 1024 is the limit and 
so won't go past that.

I have been creating 30G HPFS using PM - I've had some problems going 
past 32G.  I was having problems with a particular HDD and so created a 
partition using DFSEE.  DFSEE will create any size partition you ask it 
to; now just try to format it.  OS/2 Format said it couldn't access the 
drive.  Catch 22?

Can you suggest a tools to create and format large FAT32 partitions?

So you know where I am going with this, I want to build a TV recorder. 
Win seems to own the hardware and software in that world.  And I don't 
want to go past W98SE if I don't have to.  It's running everything else 
I need; Tax, PWB layout...
