nt4 workstation and long filenames of fat32 server
FAT32 works fine for me. However, if you have any problems with anything, don't tell tech support that you are running FAT32. It probably won't have anything to do with your problem but tech support will probably tell you that they can't help you because they don't support the conversion. They just are not trained

and that also works fine. I can access the CD drive fine. But, I'm having trouble mounting my primary hard drive partition(s) to be visible. I have a large FAT32 partition that I usually access via Win-98 style DOS (from bootable CD), but this partition doesn't mount when using the IBM DOS.

HELP!!! Screwed up FAT32 Partition
It does not work when run from bootable floppy disks. Is this documented anywhere? Actually, this is wrong. FAT32 works just fine, from a boot diskette system, but ONLY, if the file names don't contain anything other than stuff supported by code page 437 (the US default, of course).

a benchmark of Drive Image vs. Ghost
compression is comparable - products are designed to handle FAT32 filesystems. NTFS 5.0 support sucks. - In both products, support for Windows 2000 sucks.

Partition Magic boot manager and FAT32
I'd stick with win98se, stable and works. Avoid NTFS. Yes it's more secure, yes it's more stable. BUT if you need to read that disk with a win9x system you'll be sorry. The advantages don't outway the disadvantages IMHO. I did the NTFS and the first problem I was sorry, FAT32 works fine.

FAT32 downsides?
Everything works fine. Of course, when I boot to ME, the "g:" drive does not show up because of the NTFS partition. This was running Windows98, obviously FAT32. I did not consider this a problem, because windows XP has the capability of running NTFS or FAT32 (or FAT16 for that matter).

Can wrong disk geometry force a FAT32 "rebuild"?
20 2G fat16 partitions work fine but 4 10G fat32 partitions went nuts. :-/ From an HD structure standpoint there isn'ta lot of difference between the two. The biggest difference, other than fat32 supporting partitions greater than 2G is the granularity and the fact that the directory blocks have 32b addresses

NTFS and FAT32 - No go
I have two partitions on my 30GB drive: - C: 10 GB Fat32 bootable --- still works fine - D: 20 GB Fat32 non-bootable data drive --- it is no longer showing up as Fat32, but of a Linux "type 85" So doing the "fdisk /mbr" will screw me for my currently functioning bootable C partition, won't it?

Ok, All you MS-MVP's Try and solve this problem
So for example, to create both FAT32 and linux partitions: From a clean unpartitioned drive, fire up a W95 boot disk and run FDISK, answer yes to the "Large disk support". It works fine in Linux no problem when mounted as VFAT. The extended partition is of type 0x05, and contains a swap and an ext2 partition.

NFTS or FAT32?
I use NTFS on my system (maxtor 40Gb ultra 100 7200 rpm hard drive) and it works fine for me. Others claim nothing but problems with NTFS. Some say nothing but problems with FAT32. One thing you may want to look into is some programs, particularly system utilities, especially older ones, won't work with NTFS.

Additionally, Pm reports that the drive crosses the 1024 cylinder limit, and subsequently prevents me from using FAT32's.

All application programs will ruin fine under FAT32. You must be careful with utilities and anti-virus programs.

looking for os that does read/write fat32 and win long file names
I don't plan to convert NT to NTFS, since I do want 98 to read that drive as well...and will probably convert the FAT32 drives back to FAT16 so NT cann access them, if it can, I'll leave it alone. As for Linux, I'm getting around in it. I work on a dual boot system, 95 and Linux, at work. It works fine.
