| 544296 | 2007-04-25 13:51:00 | Hello, I spent about 3 hours last night on the web, and then half of this morning as well, trying to find definitive answers to some questions on FAT limitations, im studying for the A+ cert, and i dont need what 'appears' to be contridictary info right now i need some expert guidance, i need to get by this chapter and i cant spend another day in it, and on the web, searching for an answer that 'seems right' to me, im missing something here, and I know there must be other newbies out there scratching their heads on this as well ok, before i get too wordy here and bore you to death.... Q: just what is the max file size for FAT16?, I see some places state 2GB - 1 byte, and then others state 4GB - 1 byte Q: just what is the max volume size for FAT16?, I see some places state 2GB, and then others state 4GB Q: just what is the max volume size for FAT32?, I see some places state 2TB, and then others state 8TB Thanks in advance!, Brad |
