FAT32 cannot support files larger than 4GB...its ALWAYS been like this.
Look at other thread where i have given the solution for NTFS read/write if you
need files larger than 4GB

You can also use Reiserfs file system,and install YAReG on Windows to be able to read write on it the link is :

i prefer this solution instead of using ntf-3g to write on ntfs file system but it's up to you to choose.

hope this help

i do not trust ntfs with rw
i thought maybe there was another fs that was fully supported from both windows and linux

i have already re-formated the drive to ext3
and setup samba on the machine to fileshare with windows but i have trouble sending the data to the machine as it doesn't go faster than 2-3mbps,
though when i read, from the samba server it goes up to half gbps
any idea why this is happening?
