CV vikram thanks for your quick reply but it did not solve the problem

well dude,
see try makin all drives to NTFS. that can work out.

'cos FAT32 filesystem can support a max of 32 GB with full stability. I havent checked it for NTFS. but NTFS will surely work well.

In any cases, it doesnt work then u r left wid one option. try makin small many partitions.

Surely go for NTFS.
If you want to continue using FAT32 you can refer to DIGIT mag. (last month i suppose) there was tip how to enable large disk support for FAT 32 drive.
