As long as the operating system supports it < Win95b or Win98 > you can use FAT 32 on your hard drive partitions and you can run anything from it that you run from FAT 16. Win 98 has a utility that will convert FAT 16 to FAT 32 without losing data. With Win95b or Win 98 you can use third party software such as Partition Magic 3.0 to switch back and forth from FAT 16 to FAT 32 at will with no data loss.

To my knowledge FAT32 cannot be installed on a FAT16 drive without total destrucitve formatting because you must FDISK the H.D. Ricardo A. Juliao L.
