A few technical questions, help appreciated...
If I had a FAT32 drive, that drive would not be accessible by DOS 6.22, but DOS 6.22 will still work fine and access any drives that are still FAT16, OSR2 or not. (This I've actually done in case there is a sceptic out there with the initials JN) http://super.zippo.com/~pleonard.

It depends very much on what you count as a disaster -- for some of the things I've done (overwrite a partition with zeros, for instance) having backups on a separate partition works fine. It's also fine against deleting files accidentally. As far as I'm concerned, overwriting a partition is a disaster.

Fat32 - Seagate 2.5Gig Medalist pro - Dos based HD Benchmarks ...
I have looked up the FAT32 problem and most seem to think that FAT32 is the same as VFAT. I however did not think that this was the case, as the VFAT is the "virtual" file allocation table and does not like the 4Kb allocations, where the "true" FAT32 is ok with them. My Jaz works fine as a device itself,

The whole system works fine without problems (FAT 32). As secondary drive I installed my „old“ harddrive with capacity of 2 GB (slave). Also this drive works fine under Windows.

So you are fine. In addition, the latest LILO (comes with Slackware 7.1) works fine beyond the 1024 cylinder boundary. 2) I understand that LILO will not work under FAT32. Does this apply LILO does not use any partition format. It doesn't care what kinds of partitions you have. -Joe.

FAT32 support on boot floppies
If there is a good vfat or fat32 filesystem there, that works fine with windows, then it will work fine with Linux, provided you pick a kernel with fat32 support. Recent kernels like 2.0.36 work. There is a strange complaint from fdisk, that you should certainly investigate - if there is a 1-cylinder disagreement

I want to be convinced; convince me.
I have changed partitions back and forth between FAT32 and FAT without a problem using PM. I converted my Dell to FAT32, I don't know about Gateway -- unless they are concealing some serious defects in their system FAT32 ought to work just fine. (Be careful about laptops though, some of the power management

Stupid question. WinNT and FAT32?
The two FAT32 partitions are on the 2nd HD and just leftover from my previous OS. I was going to make it dual boot to Win98SE but never did figure that one out and I guess I never really had the need. Lots of data there but those 2 partitions work fine in FAT32 - plenty fast enough. I think I also decided to leave

Bizarre FAT32 problem
Not that I really need them anymore, I solved my FAT32 and Linux booting problem with LOADLIN v1.6 already. FWIW, that's almost exactly the same problem I've been sorting out in the last day or so.
