Yeah...so suprise still not working. I was having issues with getting XP to format the usb drive as fat32. so i ran it through with partition magic, creating a fat32 partiton, but BSD isn't able to read it. So now I'm at a loss. FreeBSD creates a FAT32 partition for me and Windows can't read it and now the other way around it won't work. Any suggestions? --- Warren Block <wblock@wonkity.com> wrote: > On Thu, 11 Nov 2004, scott renna wrote: > > > I created a FAT32 parition on the external drive > from > > /stand/sysinstall and dropped some files onto it. > I > > then moved it over to the win box to see if it > could > > see it and sadly no.
