FAT 16 DOS/Windows 95 2 GB
FAT 16 Windows NT 4 GB
FAT 32 2 Terabytes
NTFS 2 Terabytes
For example, an 8-GB drive operating in a Windows 95 environment using FAT 16 would have a
total of four 2-GB drive partitions. That same drive operating in Windows NT using FAT 16
would have two 4-GB drive partitions unless the user elected to subdivide it into smaller sections.
The identical drive using FAT 32 would have a single 8-GB partition unless the user elected to
subdivide it into smaller sections.
