FAT32/Windows 98 Second Edition

When does fat mean lean? When it's the new and improved FAT32 (File Allocation Utility). FAT32 frees up hard-disk space by allocating the space much more efficiently than previous versions of FAT did.

With FAT32, you can:

• Get an average of 28 percent more disk space without buying any new hardware.*
• Launch software programs faster when you combine FAT32 with Microsoft^™ Windows^™ 98 Second Edition Disk Defragmenter.
• Work with a very large hard disk--over two terabytes--it's easier because you can represent the disk with a single drive letter, rather than splitting it in two.

*Results based on a test of 200 users™ hard drives. This test calculated the space to be gained by converting from FAT16 to FAT32. Requires a 512MB hard drive or larger to convert to FAT32. Actual experience will vary depending on hard drive partition size and number of files in your system. Hard drive partitions in excess of 1 GB and/or a large number of files yield best results.
