Due to some bordom at work last week i did some research. The FAT32 cluster 
size will be OK at 120GB the only issue is that windows (not sure if this is 
<=2000 or all) cannot (will not) format a fat32 partition over 30GB or  but 
FAT 32 can access Terabytes, and on the MS page they state that if "another" 
operating system formats fat32 to >30GB windows can read it!

so problem solved! 
(the bigger problem will be solved by issuing "rm /mnt/windows/ -r --force")
