What is the largest size file that FAT32 can handle?
Thanks

Hi, Dan.

Is 4 GB big enough? (Actually: 4 GB minus 1 byte (232 bytes minus 1 byte))

For the official word, check this page for the online version of the WinXP
Pro Resource Kit Documentation:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prkc_fil_tdrn.asp

(If that URL doesn't put you on the exact page, then navigate down to
Chapter 13, File Systems.)
