Limitations of the FAT32 File System in Windows XP
SUMMARY
This article discusses the limitations of the FAT32 file system in Windows XP. Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to the other limits), but you cannot create a FAT32 volume larger than 32 GB by using the Format tool during Setup.
結論: FAT32 系統可以管理 65,527 (總容量 2 GB) 到 268,435,445 個叢集 (cluster) (總容量 8192 GB)每個叢集最多 32 KB. Win XP (正常啟動以後, 透過驅動程式) 可以掛上大於 32 GB 的 FAT32 磁碟, 但是安裝 Win XP 時不能用安裝程式, 格式化一個大於 32 GB 的FAT32硬碟分割區 (install Win XP 的時候還未掛 driver 當然跑不動)
NOTE: When attempting to format a FAT32 partition larger than 32 GB, the format fails near the end of the process with the following error: Logical Disk Manager: Volume size too big.
企圖以FAT32格式化大於32 GB的硬碟分割時會在接近完成時失敗.
