    I use a 64GB drive, I formatted it with two partitions, one is 32GB ext3, and the rest is NTFS. I actually used Ubuntu to 'create a USB startup disk' - so I have a 32GB Ubuntu system partition that I can boot on any computer that has an option in BIOS for booting from USB, so I never need to use Windows on other people's computers.

    I installed 'PortableApps' to the NTFS partition, so when I plug it into a Windows computer, I get to open my files with my software - Open Office is installed as an open application (if you use open documents and export them as PDF this makes you compatible with the whole world, not just people who have Office, or Office2007 installed - not all of us will pay for crapware)

    You shouldn't be using DOS with it, DOS is designed for a world where 1GB is a very big floppy disk! Are you crazy? Did you try buying a 5 1/2 inch 64GB floppy disk?

    Great solution for you : Download a ubuntu liveCD, burn it, boot it, install it - and start having fun.

    At the very least, you can use the very good and stable 'Partition Editor' to create partitions on your nice phat USB drive.

    Good luck!
