AFAIK, large USB drives are formatted using NTFS (sp?).
Even PC's can only read large USB drives with NTFS, not Fat95.


I have an external USB drive with 80 gig formatted with fat32.
Still have my original win98se boot partition...
though, the computer i used it in is... just gone...
seem to have miss placed it

though I have not tried it in an amiga. do not have USB. yet...

Yet another possibility:
Check the dip settings on the drive. many drives has capacity limiting function...

That happened to my 80 gig... it only reported 15gigs...
remove the dip... everything was ok...
