Using FAT 32 and Hard Drive
FAT 32 is a way of specifying how information is written to your hard disk. Starting with later Windows 95 and continuing into Windows 98, Windows has let users convert older FAT 16 drives into FAT 32 which allows them to save a good deal of disk space. But the setup and conversion can lead to problems. FAT32 returns disk space because it stores files in a tighter format, using less space for each. But it won't work under NT or early 95 and won't work with disk compression.
