Windows 98 supports both the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. The FAT32 file system will support drives up to 2 terabytes in size, while the FAT16 file system will support drives up to 2 gigabytes in size.
True. FAT32 only supports partitions and drives up to 2TB in size. Please refer to the Microsoft KB article below for more information.
Drives under 32 GB can be formatted as FAT32 using the Disk Management tool (enter compmgmt.msc into the Run prompt and select "Disk Management from the list when the program pops up). For drives over 32 GB, you will have to use a third-party tool, such as GPartEd, since Windows XP does not allow you to create a FAT32 file system over 32 GB.
yes
You can use either FAT32 or NTFS it's up to you. If you want to check current file system for your drive just right click and choose Properties.
The only way i know is to format it to FAT32. Remeber to make a back up.
FAT32 allows partitions up to 2 TB
Because to convert a drive, you must a working partition, like Fat32, RAW however is a dead partition, messes up the sectors which converting cannot reverse.
up to 2048GB
How would you set up disk quotas on a drive formatted with FAT32? Answer: You must have NTFS to be able to enforce disk quotas, so the drive must first be converted to NTFS.
Fat32 is a type of Fat file system.Fat file system has 3 types1) Fat12 2)Fat16 3)Fat32The number in the names of file systems represents no. of bits used in the addressing scheme.more bits means more addresses, so large drives are accessed and addressed through the file system.Fat12 was used only for very small drives, floppies and tiny hard drives.Fat16 is used for only upto the drive/partitions up to 2GB.Fat32 is is used for addressing upto 2TB drives/partitions.Before Fat32 the when there was Fat16 was available only, that had 16 bits to address, was called as the Fat simpally.
