What
is FAT (File Allocation Table)
The FAT is a roadmap, or index, those points to the location
where all the information in files is stored on a floppy
disk or hard drive. The FAT is extremely important because
the system uses it to store and retrieve files containing
information.
When you save a file in Windows, it is stored in multiple
pieces (in clusters made up of multiple sectors) on the
disk. Windows also saves the roadmap, or index, those
points to these clusters in two copies of the FAT (File
Allocation Table). The FAT contains the directions to
all the pieces of your files, so that applications can
find them again later.
Does my computer
come with FAT32?
This generally depends on the computer and its manufacturer.
Most manufacturers now set up FAT32 on computers, but
some may not. There are two ways to know whether or not
your computer is set up for FAT32:
1. Go into the Start menu, select Programs/Accessories/System
Tools, and then select Drive Converter (FAT 32). When
you run the program, it will display the status of your
hard drives. If any of them say ALREADY FAT32, then they
are set up for FAT32. If any say FAT or FAT16, then they
need to be converted to FAT32. (Only for windows 98 users)
2. Go into My Computer and right-click on a hard drive
icon. Select Properties. In the General section, the drive
will be listed either as FAT or FAT32.
