• Version of file system (FAT-16, for devices holding up to 4 GB; or FAT-32, for devices containing up to 32
GB).
• Number of FATs (File-Allocation Tables).
• Number of entries allowed in the root directory.
• Cluster size (.5 KB to 64 KB).
There are also two check boxes, which govern:
• Whether to use the transaction-safe FAT file system (TFAT). This file system keeps multiple copies of
the file-allocation table, changing one while maintaining another as a backup.
• Whether to perform a quick format. Quick formatting removes all reference to data in the partition
without erasing the actual partition. The partition will be treated as empty, and new data will overwrite it.
