I created exFAT partition under WinXP SP3 with exFAT driver from Microsoft and I'm using it for experiments. I'm developing the reader under WinXP, and using HX DOS extender to run it in pure DOS (in future it will be possible to replace it to another extender or even go to real mode). May be, in future releases I'll implement FORMAT and UNERASE for exFAT. I'll continue working on exFAT reader.

P.S. exFAT is not FAT64, it uses 32-bit cluster numbers and very simular to FAT32. It however uses bitmap for free clusters and its own format for directory entries. It also has no short file names and has no information about CHS geometry in VBR.

P.P.S. RayeR already reuploaded my driver into another link, it was mentioned in this thread.
