文件分配系统FAT32技术

FAT32是Wiindows操作系统的新文件分配系统，它首先出现在Windows95OSR2。FAT代表着硬盘上的组织数据方式，FAT32突破了FATl6系统强加的最多只能管理2．1GB硬盘分区的限制，能够更有效地使用硬盘上的空间。因为FAT32使用的簇较小，当使用大硬盘空间时要比其他文件分配系统更有效。文章介绍了FAT的发展及原理。较详细的分析了文件分配系统FAT32，可以对FAT32有一个了解。

Technology of File Allocation System FAT32

FAT32 file allocation system is a new operating system of Windows, which first ap- peared in OSR2 Windows95. FAT represents the organizing data on hard disk. FAT32 makes a break- through in the limit of managing merely 2.1GB at most of hard disk partition imposed by the FAT16 system, and makes the space more effective. As FAT32 uses smaller clusters, it is used more efficiently than other file allocation systems in a large hard disk space. The article describes the development and the principle of the FAT and makes a detailed analysis of the file allocation system FAT32, all of which is of a help to understand FAT32.
