I am using and was using NTFS. I still cant hold more than 10,000. The total
space it is taking up is 8.5 gig, but that (i dont think) is the problem.
There has got to be a way to uncap this, and yes i am sure it is running
NTFS. My hardrive is a Maxtor 6Y080M0. I am running on a Dell. Let me know if
i can give you any other information about my system...
