What is
FAT32 on a 98 system? |
 |
Windows 98 Second Edition includes support for an enhanced
version of the FAT file system, FAT32, that supports drives up to 2
terabytes (approximately 2,000 GB). It also allocates space on the
drive in smaller units (called clusters) than did earlier versions
of FAT, resulting in more efficient use of space on the drive.
This section addresses some of the known issues with FAT32 and
answers some of the questions you might have.
FAT32 is designed to be fully compatible with
existing computers and programs designed to run on earlier
versions of MS-DOS and Windows. However, some older disk
utilities may need to be updated
in order to work with FAT32 drives. The system tools contained
with Windows 98 Second Edition, including ScanDisk, Backup, and
Disk Defragmenter, fully support FAT32 drives. FAT32 drives
cannot be compressed by using DriveSpace, however.
In addition, operating systems other than Windows 95 version
4.00.950 B, Windows 98, or Windows 2000 are unable to access
information stored on FAT32 drives. This includes the original
version of Windows 95, Windows NT version 4.0 and earlier, and
previous versions of MS-DOS and Windows.
Windows 98 Second Edition does support accessing FAT32 drives in
MS-DOS mode. In addition, FAT32 drives can be shared over a
network and accessed by remote computers in
the same way as older-style FAT drives, even if the remote
computers don't support FAT32. |
