Converting FAT to FAT32
The Convert FAT to FAT32 operation converts a FAT partition to FAT32. FAT32
partitions have less wasted disk space than FAT partitions. However, you should
be aware of these issues:
•
You must have Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2, Windows 98, or
Windows NT 2000 to access files on a FAT32 partition. (NT 4.0 is NOT
compatible with a FAT 32 partition.)
•
If you are using multiple operating systems, FAT32 partitions are
inaccessible when the other operating systems are running.
•
Save to disk partitions cannot be resized or converted to any file system;
they can only be deleted.
The minimum size for a FAT32 partition is 256 MB.
