What is the maximum size a hard drive formatted with FAT16?
There is no limit on the size of a hard driveformatted with FAT16. The only limit is the size of a FAT16 partition on the drive. The maximum size of a FAT16 partition is 4 GB.
Why is FAT16 not a practical choice for Windows XP?
With a maximum partition size of 2 GB, there is barely enough room for Windows XP, let alone any additional programs and user documents on a FAT16 file system.
What amount of hard drive space is needed for windows 98?
However much the BIOS supports. Or, if you mean maximum partition size, then it would be: FAT12: 32MB FAT16: 2GB FAT32: 8TB
What question does the windows 9x partition utility ask in order to use FAT3232 instead of the FAT16 file system?
The Windows 9x partition utility asks if you want to enable support for large drives during the formatting process. Specifically, it inquires if you would like to format the partition using the FAT32 file system instead of the older FAT16, allowing for larger partition sizes and improved storage efficiency. This option is typically presented when the partition size exceeds 2 GB, which is the limit for FAT16.
What type of partition can Windows 98 be installed on?
Windows 98 can be installed on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition (FAT32 is the best choice for disks larger than 512 MB, and supports long file names better).
What is the largest partition than can be created on a drive with FAT16?
The original 16-bit version of the FAT file system (FAT16) supported hard disk partitions up to 4GB and files as large as 2GB.
How many sectors are in one cluster for a 1.5-GB partition using FAT16 Using FAT32?

What file system is used by DOS?
FAT16 (File Allocation Table 16 bit)
What file system does Windows 2000 use?
Windows 2000 supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS partitions.
What question does the window 9x partition utility ask in order to use FAT32 instead of FAT16 file system?
Do you wish to enable large disk support (Y/N)? If you respond Y then Fdisk assigns the FAT32 file system to the drive. Otherwise, it uses FAT16.
What are the main characteristics of FAT16?
FAT16 (File Allocation Table 16) is a file system that supports disk partitions of up to 2 GB and utilizes 16-bit addressing for file allocation. It organizes files into clusters, with a maximum of 65,536 clusters, allowing for efficient storage management. FAT16 is simple and widely compatible, making it suitable for smaller storage devices and embedded systems. However, it has limitations in terms of file size and maximum volume size compared to newer file systems.
Is it possible to convert a FAT16 partition to NTFS in Windows 98?
No, and neither would it be desirable. Windows 98 cannot boot off an NTFS partition, and if your system was using a FAT16 partition, it is probably not large enough to benefit from NTFS anyway.
