    Fat 16 or 32


    I have a system that I am going to load
    windows 95 on. I have the full version
    of windows and the startup diskette.
    This is a new hard drive.
    How to I make it fat 32, is this part
    of fdisk or format commands.
    I plan on purchasing a dos manual for
    6.0 as I think that is what is on the
    windows cd.
    Any info would be appriciated.

    Hi,

    FAT32 is created by FDISK. But you should to know that only Win95B version (OSR2) supports FAT32. If you use original Win95 you can't convert to FAT32.

    If your version supports FAT32 then when you run FDISK it asks you if you want to enable large drive support. Answer YES, and you will have FAT32 on your drive. After that create partition(s) and format drive as usual. If FDISK not offer you to support large drives, then your Windows version not supports FAT32.

    ------------------
    Good luck, Igor M
