Figure 5.70 Format Dialog
5. Choose your format options. These options include:
- 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 checkboxes, 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.
6. Press Start. The partition is formatted.
