With a maximum of 32 KB per cluster with space for the file allocation table (FAT), this equates to a maximum disk size of approximately 8 terabytes (TB). For whatever reason, Windows XP and Windows 2000 can't format a FAT32 partition that is bigger than 32 GB (problem with their format program). Also, there is a 4 GB file size limit. All from the same article that took 30 seconds to find. b Received on 2003-10-06 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
