No problems here. I have 2 SATA 200GB drives. For some time one of them was
even formatted as single FAT32 partition. Windoze can't FORMAT that, but
can USE it without problems.

I have no problems with FAT, ReiserFS and XFS parts on those disks.

But remember, the bigger the partition is, the more data you loose by
destroying the partition
