My champagne hasn't arrived yet - but I'll enjoy it when it does!!!! 

Sorry, I've drunk it, it was lovely.

it took 3 pages to understand binary and standard metric...

You've got to start somewhere, and where else than this fantastic site

I need some help with FAT 32 and 16.

If you use FAT 32 I know that the Cluster Size will be determand by the Hard Drive Size.

But say you wanted to make Cluster Sizes a sertan Size can you do this?

[reddevilggg]

Why do you need to know this, nymph4, if we knew 'why and what for' then maybe we could help a little better?

But say you wanted to make Cluster Sizes a sertan Size can you do this?

in short yes. but you'll need to change the hard drive size.

What I meen is what if you have an 8. Gig Hard Drive and you are going to install Windows and you pick FAT 32 you know it will makew every Cluster 4. kB in size.

How can you make them what you want??

OK I have been looking at all diferant Documnebtion on the net about FAT 16 / 32 just to get a batter understanding of how they work.

And I know how many Clusters FAT 16 can support and how many Cluster FAT 32 can support.

And FAT 16 Default Cluster Size is 32 kB
But what is the Default Cluster Size of FAT 32?
