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.
FAT32 and exFAT (often mistakenly referred to as FAT64) are both file systems used for storage devices, but they have key differences. FAT32 supports file sizes up to 4GB and partitions up to 8TB, making it suitable for smaller drives and compatibility with a wide range of devices. In contrast, exFAT, which is designed for flash drives and external storage, allows for much larger file sizes (up to 16EB) and partitions, providing better performance for large files while maintaining compatibility across various operating systems.
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
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) can support a maximum of four primary partitions on a single hard drive. Alternatively, one of these primary partitions can be configured as an extended partition, which can contain multiple logical drives. This allows for a total of up to three primary partitions and potentially many logical drives within the extended partition.
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.
