What is the Difference between FAT 16 and FAT 32?

Daewoo International Inc.
FAT stands for File Allocation System. FAT 16 is an older, 16-bit version of the Microsoft File Allocation System. If Windows 98 is pre-installed on your system, it includes a built-in tool for upgrading from FAT16 to FAT32, which is Microsoft's 32-bit file system. With Win 95, unless FAT32 was preinstalled, your only upgrade option for acquiring the (normally desirable) 32-bit file system is a third-party disk utility.

If fat has no effect on insulin, why do we have to limit fat intake at all?

Zone Diet FAQ
Fat, especially monounsaturated fat, has no effect on insulin, but that is not an excuse for fat gluttony. Remember that any incoming calories have to be metabolized for use as immediate energy or stored for future use. Fat is a very dense calorie source with one gram of fat containing nine calories and it is very easy to consume too much. If you consume more fat blocks than can be used immediately, the excess will be stored as fat.

How do I partition/format a drive larger than 32 GB in size?

Focus Enhancements
One of the limitations of creating a FAT32 partition on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, is that you are limited to 32GB partitions. If you have access to a Windows ME or Windows 98SE computer, it will be possible to create a single partition as big as the drives volume. If you only have access to a Windows 2000 or XP system, you can make multiple 32GB partitions and use FireStore that way. FireStore version 2.2 can directly create a FAT32.

Why Hard disk drives are so sensitive?

RAID Server Data Recovery
A hard disk drive consists of a mechanical part (HDA) head-and-disk assembly and a (PCB) - printed circuit board. HDA acts as a case for all mechanical parts of a drive and contains one more chip performing the functions of a preamplifier/commutator. The PCB consists of series of chips which control the mechanical parts, encode/decode data on the platters/magnetic surfaces, then transfer the data through an external interface. Generally, PCBs are located outside HDA, in its lower part.

DV has a data rate of 3.6 MB/sec. This means that in order to capture DV onto a hard drive in real-time the hard drive must be able to sustain at least 6 to 9 MB/s minimum. Note that peak data rate such as the 160 or 320 MB/s you hear about has nothing to do with sustained data rate. Our systems have lead the way for both data rate and size. We have introduced many industry firsts in the storage area. Even our low-end systems today have drives that will sustain over 20 MB/s.

I created an image of the hard drive. It stops at about 4 GB. Why?

File Recovery Software Technical Support
You have likely created the image on the FAT32 file system which has a 4Gb file size limitation. Therefore larger files can not be created there. If this is the case, we would suggest that you either use NTFS (through network or attaching the drive to a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 box if you are running Windows 9x/ME) or split your drive into regions each less than 4Gb, create their images and make virtual volume set afterwards if you need to recover files from there.

What current hard drives can be used as external drives on FS-1?

Focus Enhancements
Focus Enhancements learned in mid 2005 that many newly manufactured drives were not compatible with the FS-1: they either could not be formatted by the FS-1, or if they did format, they did not correctly record video and audio from the FS-1. We tested four new drive enclosures from Wiebetech. Weibetech is a manufacturer whose drives we have OEMed for FS-3 disk enclosures, and for FS-2 enclosures as well.
