I can understand wouldn't work on G; we've had problems on FAT before,
but nobody cared enough to fix them. I don't see how that would affect
the D volume, though.

Hm... I tried creating a FAT32 volume on some free space I have on a
(dynamic) logical disk that already contains 4 NTFS volumes. I can't
reproduce your problem, though; I can still create a repository on the
FAT32 and any NTFS volume.

I can only guess that it might be some kind of hardware problem, or
interaction with a virus scanner or similar software. I'm only guessing,
though.

Yup. It doesn't help me much, but it is what I asked for... :-)
Sorry I can't help you more.
