Helpline Comment (24672) (Dec 07 2003 05:59 GMT) - tee fred i found this about fat 12 FAT12: The oldest type of FAT uses a 12-bit binary number to hold the cluster number. A volume formatted using FAT12 can hold a maximum of 4,086 clusters, which is 2^12 minus a few values (to allow for reserved values to be used in the FAT). FAT12 is therefore most suitable for smaller volumes, and is used on floppy disks and hard disk partitions smaller than about 16 MB. i hope that helps answer your question |
