Philip really needs a Fat32 partition for his Pinnacle device to write to, so as "antiquated" as it is, that what is needed.

And the max practical file size limit on NTFS is 16TB not 16GB - which back in the early days of NTFS lifecycle may as well have been writn as "unlimited max size" .. people spoke of Terrabytes back the, but never dreamed there would be practical and affordable drives of a terrabyte or more - these days you can buy a terrabyte home office drive.
