Er... the partition CAN be larger than 32GB: http://www.allensmith.net/Storage/HDDlimit/FAT32.htm

You just can't create it with Win2000/XP.

I'd suggest using another partioning tool like Partition Magic or perhaps you can find something free out there.

However, I would just create the 32GB partition and format the rest using NTFS.
