I have my hard drive partitioned off. Some the drives are fat, and some of
them are fat32. The reason that I have them
that way, is some of my old dos programs that I still like to use won't run on
fat32. My c: drive is fat, and my d:
drive is fat32. My jaws is on the c: drive, I guess I could change c: to
fat32, and I still would have a couple of
other drives that are still fat where I could run those dos programs.
