60G mobile hard disk is inseparable from FAT32

When you use the FAT32 file system in Windows XP, be aware of the following limitations:

Clusters cannot be equal to or greater than 64 kb. If the cluster size is 64 KB or larger, some programs, such as the installer, may incorrectly calculate disk space.

FAT32 volumes must contain at least 65,527 clusters. You cannot increase the cluster size on a volume that uses the FAT32 file system, which results in fewer than 65,527 clusters on the volume.

The maximum disk size is approximately 8 TB when the following variables are taken into account: the maximum number of clusters allowed on a FAT32 volume is 268,435,445, with a maximum of 32 KB per cluster, plus the space required for the File Allocation Table (FAT).

You cannot reduce the cluster size on a FAT32 volume, which would result in a size of the FAT greater than 16 MB minus 64 KB.

During a Windows XP installation, you cannot format a volume larger than 32 GB using the FAT32 file system. Windows XP can mount and support FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB (subject to additional restrictions), but you cannot use the Format tool to create FAT32 volumes larger than 32 GB during installation. If you need to format a volume larger than 32 GB, use the NTFS file system to format it.

Another way is to boot from a Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME) startup disk and then use the Format tool included on that disk.

The FAT32 format is only supported, and no matter how big it is, it can only be divided in NTFS format. If you want to divide the whole into FAT32, you can use the next PQ partition software to divide all 64G into FAT32.

Windows's own formatter program, if you find that the capacity of the hard disk is greater than 40G, you are usually not allowed to choose the FAT32 option when formatting.

This brings trouble to some friends who need to use the FAT32 file system.

However, the solution is very simple, and that is to use a third-party tool.

For example, DiskGenius can format a large hard drive to FAT32. Here's how:

2. Run the software, select your hard drive partition on the left, right-click, and format. Then in the pop-up window, select fat32 for the file system, and then format it.

Converting a portable hard drive to FAT32 is very harmful to the hard drive! The best way to do this is to use NTFS

In "Run", type "convert x: fs:ntfs" which is the method of fat32 to nyfs, where x represents the drive letter you want to convert.

If you want to convert NTFS to fat32, just reverse the colon thing, but it is recommended that you do not use such files, and all files will be deleted.

If you want to not lose your files and don't want to format them, it is recommended that you look for a third-party software that may not damage your data.

Your conversion format will not damage the hard disk, but FAT32 does not support files above 4G, and it is recommended that the system disk is FAT32 (if the XP system is not XP, NTFS is recommended) NTFS supports files above 4G.

It is not possible to format a 500G hard drive to FAT32, because when formatting a hard drive in My Computer, if the hard drive has a capacity of more than 32GB, the FAT32 option will not appear during formatting, and it can only be formatted in NTFS format.

Lossless conversion of formats is impossible. Here's how to format a portable hard drive to FAT32:

1. Connect the mobile hard disk to the computer and click "This Computer".

2. Find our mobile hard drive icon and right-click.

3. Select "Format" in the pop-up menu

4. A formatted menu will pop up.

5. You can select "File System" to determine the formatted format6. You can also choose "Allocate Unit Size".

7. After setting, select "Start" to format the mobile hard disk Format refers to an operation to initialize the disk or partition in the disk, which usually results in all the files in the existing disk or partition being cleared. Formatting is usually divided into low-level formatting and high-level formatting. Unless otherwise specified, formatting a hard disk is usually referred to as advanced formatting, while formatting a floppy disk usually includes both.

Here's how:

2. Right-click on the computer, and then click on this disk management.

3. Click on the partition on your mobile hard drive that you want to format as FAT32, and right-click to select Format.

4. Then click Yes, select fat32 in the file system, and click OK.

5. At this moment, this partition will be formatted as fat32, as shown in the figure below, and the same can be done for multiple partitions.

If you have only one drive letter on your portable hard drive, then formatting will definitely have to be eliminated. As for the format, there is an option for you to choose when you choose the format. There is NTFS FAT(16) FAT32 upstairs mentioned 4GB size problem, but it's actually okay.

Because a single file is more than 4GB, except for some images and archives, it will not be exceeded. The problem with FAT32 is still the strategy and security of the use of the word disk space. However, it is not a big problem for the average user.

If you don't want to format to NTFS, you can try formatting to exfat, which provides support for mass removable storage devices by selecting the format exfat in the format window

No play. FAT32 does not support a single large file of more than 4GB, and many files now exceed this size.

At least I've never heard of lossless formatting to fat32.

Eh, this ,,, doesn't damage the file? I haven't heard of it, and Gates can't do it, don't you understand what formatting means?

It's all clear, this idea is very good and powerful.

You use the PE tool from the pirated disk to the desktop and turn your portable hard drive into FT32 to try.

NTFS is good, why is it formatted as FAT32?

Tips (choose FAT32 and NTFS recommendations).

In terms of system security, the NTFS file system has many features that the FAT32 file system does not have, and the Win 2000 based on NTFS runs faster than the Win 2000 based on FAT32And in terms of compatibility with Win 9X, FAT32 is better than NTFS. Therefore, when deciding what kind of file system to use in Win 2000, you should start from the following points:

1.Whether the computer is a single Win 2000 system or a Win 2000 system with multiple boots;

2.the number and capacity of locally installed disks;

3.Whether there are security considerations, etc.

Based on the above considerations, if you want to use partitions larger than 32GB in Win 2000, then you can only choose NTFS format. If the computer is used as a stand-alone machine, you don't need to think about security issues, and pay more attention to compatibility with Win 9X, then FAT32 is the best choice. If the computer is used as a network workstation or more in pursuit of system security, and can run in a single Win 2000 mode, it is highly recommended that all partitions be in NTFS format; If you want to be compatible with previous applications, you need to install Win 9X or other operating systems, it is recommended to make a multi-boot system, which requires more than two partitions, one partition is in NTFS format, and the other partition is in FAT32 format, and in order to get the fastest running speed, it is recommended to place the system files of Win 2000 on the NTFS partition, and the other personal files are placed in the FAT32 partition.

FAT32 can only support a maximum of 32G, of course, it can be converted into a 500G hard disk, but the program is very complicated, the hard disk needs to be partitioned, which will reduce the free space, which is not of great value, and NTFS has no compatibility problems, there is no need to convert to FAT32 format.

The FAT32 format can only support up to 4G size files, and now many files will be larger than 4G, so it is recommended not to change to FAT32 and use NTFS or EXFAT format.

FAT32 supports up to 32GB, which can be divided into small dots.

NTFS back to the first floor is not available in the DOS environment.

Hehe, select FAT32 before formatting it, and you're good to go.

Diskgen software partitioning is fine.

Exfat is the best, just divide it into 2 districts.

It is recommended not to change to FAT32 and use NTFS or ExFAT format.

If you need to store large files of more than 4GB and do not want to format and modify the partition format, you can use the method of volume compression to split the files to solve this problem. Here's how:

Install WIN RAR software or other similar software (e.g. good pressure, 360 compression, etc.).

Select the file to be split, right-click the pop-up menu, and click Add to Compressed File.

In the pop-up window, pay attention to the "Compress volume size" item at the bottom left, after entering the volume size here, the file will be compressed into several compressed packages with a file size no larger than the set volume size. For example, if I need to split this file into a compressed file up to 1GB max, I enter the 1073741824 in bytes and click OK.

When the compression is finished, several files will appear, arranged in serial number, except for the last file, the volume of the other files is equal to the set size of 1GB, and the last file will be slightly smaller. Just copy all of these files to the destination location. Double-click any of the files when extracting.

However, please note that these files are indispensable, so don't lose the files of the split volume package.

There is a way, first transfer all the files of the partition you are going to convert to another partition, then right-click on the partition, select Properties, select Format->NTFS->> Quick Format, the others can be left untouched, and then executed, you can convert to NTFS format.
