I don't know what happened at E-E, but my answer got lost somehow. I'll try again:
FAT32x is installed by certain computer manufacturers on large hard drives.
The difference is that the boot sector info is written at the end of the partition with FAT32x, instead of at the beginning.
I don't think Partition Magic is compatible with FAT32x.

I would agree except that I have re-fdisked my hard drive several ways to get around that possibility. The only thing that I have been able to confirm is that is is indeed an issue with the way the FAT is written on large drives. (Incidentally, my drive is the 6.4 gig Quantum Bigfoot CY)
FAT32 [with no X]????
