Converting FAT to FAT32 The Convert FAT to FAT32 operation converts a FAT partition to FAT32. FAT32 partitions have less wasted disk space than FAT partitions.
Chapter Seven - Software Utilities PartitionMagic If you boot multiple OSs you must be very careful converting FAT to NTFS. NTFS is only accessible with Windows NT; therefore, the data in this partition will not be accessible if you boot DOS or Windows 95/98. This is a one-way conversion; to revert back to FAT you must back up all your files, reformat the partition, and restore the files.
Chapter Seven - Software Utilities NOTE: WARNING: PartitionMagic NTFS does NOT convert to anything. You must stay with this partition format or reinstall the O/S. Because of the above example, we recommend that you create an image of your hard drive before modifying or installing anything. (Create an image of hard drive while using the FAT file system.) Drive Copy DriveCopy is an easy-to-use utility for copying the contents of one hard drive to another.

CRT Cathode Ray Tube. Another name is external monitor. DIN Deutsch Industrie Norm. A round multi-pin connector, generally used to connect the keyboard and mouse to the system.
Glossary data-delivering data at a guaranteed rate. This makes it ideal for devices that need to transfer high levels of data in realtime, such as video devices. Although extremely fast and flexible, firewire is also much more expensive than a competing external bus standard called Universal Serial Bus (USB). Like USB, firewire supports both Plug-and-Play and hot plugging. Floppy Diskette Drive (FDD) The storage of a standard diskette is 720kb, 1.2MB (Japan only), 1.44MB and 120 MB.
Glossary LED Light Emitting Diode. A diode that illuminates when electrically charged. The front panel lights are diodes. MB Mega Byte (1 million bytes). Megahertz (MHz) A frequency of 1 million cycles per second. Memory Devices used to hold information and programs while they are being accessed by the microprocessor. See also RAM, ROM, Hard Disk, Floppy Disc, and Removable Storage. MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
Glossary PCI Peripheral Connect Interface, this is the successor of ISA bus, it provides a much faster speed than ISA. The speed on the bus is 33MHz. PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association cards (pronounced as separate letters). Also known as PC cards. Credit card sized devices that conform to the standards of this association. There are three types of PCMCIA cards. All three have the same rectangular size (85.6 by 54 millimeters), but different widths. Type I cards can be up to 3.
Glossary S-Video Type of video signal used in S-VHS and some laser disc formats. It transmits luminance and color portions separately, using multiple wires. S-Video avoids composite video encoding, such as NTSC, and the resulting loss of picture quality. Also known as Y-C Video. Wait State A delay in the computer’s information processing cycle caused by a difference in speed between a faster processor and slower memory.
