[. . . ] FAT16 & FAT32 (File Allocation Table) The file allocation table is a group of sectors in a hard drive that contains address chains for the different files on a hard disk drive. There are usually two FATs (kept in different locations) on a hard drive. FAT32 is available in the Windows® 95 & Windows® 98 operating systems. FAT32 receives its designation because it allows 32 bits of addressing as opposed to 16 bits in the FAT16 file system. [. . . ]
