If the partition is greater than 32GB and you are using WinME , no.

Why do you want to ?

Windows-ME supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 for hard disk partitioning.

FAT12 512MB (don't bother using it on hard disks, use FAT16 instead)
FAT16 2GB
FAT32 everything else; Windows ME is limited to 137GB partition sizes.


There's no 32GB limitation unless your MB BIOS has one set for harddisk
sizes (which has nothing to do with partition types/sizes)

Thanks but i know all of that. It was just a finger problem.
I can also add many unnecessary info. For example you can use a 4GB
fat16 partition in NT OSes etc.

There's no 32GB limitation unless your MB BIOS has one set for

harddisk
sizes (which has nothing to do with partition types/sizes)


One can find , for example for W95 :
