Pass SP1, Vista handles exFAT that from this service pack.

Yes you must install Vista SP1
The 450 MB for the 32-bit or one 700 MB if you have 64-bit

hello, it is funny, I have already formatted my Vista Ultimate SP1 and without external my dd is always agreed with my data. for the system file vista is a formatting to NTFS also xp. That is the problem you format your dd in fat. with partition magic or another kind of log, you can convert a FAT to NTFS without losing your data. it seems to me that he has better things to do. not?

The exFAT is a format for memory cards to replace the AFL because it is old and unreliable. It is true that for the external drive is NTFS better.
