How do you convert an NTFS drive to FAT or FAT32 in Windows Server 2008?

Windows doesn't provide any tools for converting an NTFS volume to FAT or FAT32. You will have to copy the files on the volume to another location and then format the drive. Note that FAT32 is a much more limited file system than NTFS, and there is probably no advantage to doing so on a server.

What two file systems can windows use to format a hard drive and which system supports the most storage capacity?

Windows basically uses two file systems:-1. FAT2. NTFSFAT stands for File Allocation Table. FAT was first introduced in 1980 as FAT12, followed by FAT16 in 1984 and finally FAT32 in 1996. The numbers 12, 16 and 32 represent the bit size of a FAT system.Nowadays, in Windows we get to see two FAT options which are FAT and FAT32. Simply FAT means FAT16. FAT16 partition size is limited at 2 GB for sector size of 512 bytes.FAT32 volume size is 2 TB for a sector size of 512 bytes and 16 TB for a sector size of 4,096 bytes. The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232−1) bytes.NTFS stands for New Technology File System and supersedes FAT system. NTFS was introduced in 1993. It allows a maximum volume size of 256TB and 16TB file for sector size of 64KB. It has numerous advantages over FAT systems.Microsoft is coming up with a new file system with the release of Windows 8.
