Floppy disks always use file system FAT12 Only hard disk drives,Zip disks and
LS 120? use FAT16. FAT32 only is for hard disk drives and NTFS is probably only for hard disk drives also. ... And clusters??? smaller on FAT16? wrong!!! except for floppy disk drives! they are always bigger especially on 1 GB and larger hard disk drives: FAT16:2GB-32K 1GB-32K 737MB-16K FAT32: 8?,6,4,3,2 and
1GB-4K 8++ and 13+GB-8K . clusters with FAT16 are 32 K on 2 and 1 GB hard disk
drives. On floppy disks which use FAT12, clusters are only 512 bytes.
