well dude,
see try makin all drives to NTFS. that can work out.

'cos FAT32 filesystem can support a max of 32 GB with full stability. I havent checked it for NTFS. but NTFS will surely work well.

In any cases, it doesnt work then u r left wid one option. try makin small many partitions.

Surely go for NTFS.
If you want to continue using FAT32 you can refer to DIGIT mag. (last month i suppose) there was tip how to enable large disk support for FAT 32 drive.
