Drive capacity Cluster size
0 up to 6 gb 4k
6 gb up to 16 gb 8k
16 gb up to 32 gb 16k
32 gb up to2048 gb 32k

Why do these cluster sizes change as the hard drive size changes?

What are the maximum hard drive sizes for fat16, fat32, and ntfs?
What causes these limitations to be diferant for each of the fat
systems?

Thanks CHEESEHEADMAN
