Can I format hard disc as FAT32 system larger 32GB in Windows XP?

󰏊 Windows 2000 and Windows XP can not recognize hard drive formatted FAT32 system larger than
32GB using the Disc Management Utility or the Format Commander Utility since 32GB is the

formatted as FAT32 system on Windows 98 SE or ME.

Some of my DivX freezes in high action scenes or when there is a lot going on in the picture.

󰏊 This can occur and it do not mean that there is something wrong with the player. It is simply
because of the motion level in the movie, the player will resume playing the movie after a few
seconds. The only thing you can do is to convert the files to another format.
