I did find a great utility a few weeks back for reading ext3 disks on Windows (I think it was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrysocome.net\/explore2fs\">Explore2fs<\/a>), but it&#8217;s the universal acceptance of FAT32 that makes it so easy to use everywhere.  The trouble is that my virtual machine is about 31GB in size and growing &#8211; consequently I needed to create a partition larger than 32GB.<\/p>\n<p>In my original post, I mentioned that FAT32 volumes in excess of 32Gb can be created &#8211; Windows is able to read or write larger volumes it just can&#8217;t create them natively (the workaround is to use another operating system or third-party tools).  In my case, I used the Mac OS X Disk Utility &#8211; the important point is to ensure that the disk options are set to use as master boot record (not a GUID partition table or an Apple partition map) after which MS-DOS File System becomes available as a formatting option, allowing me to create a FAT32 disk which filled my entire 55.89GB disk &#8211;
