Hi,

please can someone tell me, witch the minimum size of a volume is, that
should be formatted with FAT32. I want to create a very small volume,
but i need FAT32.

Thanks,
Michael

If it's very small, why not use the older FAT16 (sometimes called just
FAT)? I think FAT16 has a max partition size of 2.1GB. Any system that
can read a FAT32 file system should have no trouble with FAT16.
