FAT32format description
FAT32format is able to easily format large hard disks in FAT32, even in Windows XP. FAT32format is a small, simple and powerful application that can format large hard disks in FAT32, even in Windows XP.

Just partition the drive, then type "fat32format X:" where X is the partition letter.

It is also possible to set the cluster size with a -cN parameter where N is the number of sectors per cluster. On a hard disk, which is the only sort we support, one sector is 512 bytes. The cluster size will be N times 512.

It seems that Windows XP supports small cluster sizes, except that chkdsk runs very slowly, presumably because it needs to read the huge FAT that results from these settings. Given the nature of FAT32, you cant reduce the cluster size such that the number of clusters is more than 228.

FAT32 for Windows NT 4 0 description
Dual booting with Windows 95OSR2 and Windows98 just got more efficient! Another first from Sysinternals: a FAT32 file system driver for NT 4.0. Dual booting with Windows 95OSR2 and Windows98 just got more efficient!

FAT32 is a FAT32 file system driver for Windows NT 4.0. Once FAT32 is installed, any FAT32 drives present on your system will be fully accessible as native Windows NT volumes.

Recommended FAT32 Configuration
Do not convert your first partition, or your NT boot partition (the one with winnt on it), to FAT32 as there is no support in Windows NT 4.0 for reading FAT32 drives during the boot sequence.

For maximum compatibility in dual boot systems, the recommended partition configuration is to maintain a FAT partition as the first partition on the primary drive. This partition should contain Windows 95/98 as well as Windows NT and should not be used to store applications or data files. The rest of the primary disk and any other disks should be formatted with FAT32.

Setting up Your Partitions
FAT32 for Windows NT does not make it possible to format new FAT32 drives on your Windows NT system, just view existing FAT32 drives. If you wish to benifit from the space efficiency advantages FAT32 has over FAT16 drives and are setting up a new computer, follow these steps.

When you partition the drive create at least two partitions: one for system files and one for data files. You may also choose to create two partitions for system files: one for Windows 9x and one for Windows NT. Of course, you may wish to create multiple data file partitions.

Install Windows 9x first, placing its system files (the WINDOWS directory) on the first partition (the C: drive), which must be formatted as FAT16. Then format all the data drives as FAT32 drives. Finally, install Windows NT on either the C: drive, or the second system drive you created. The second system drive can be formatted as NTFS or FAT16. After installing FAT32 for Windows NT the data drives will be accessible from Windows NT.
