I do not know if the N800 OS2008 has any further restrictions beyond this. I imagine you could have one huge drive with multiple FAT32 partitions, but I have not verified this.

Actually, you can have primary FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB if you use third party programs such as Partition Magic. Works like a charm when I tried it with a 400GB hdd + usb hdd enclosure connected to a Philips DVD Player with USB support:

DVP5982/37

The above DVD player is cheap.. about $50.. so I presume (but not sure) if the N800 can access > 32GB FAT32 partitions.

There.. my contribution .. though its probably already mentioned elsewhere on the forum..
