Hi, > Hi people, > > I have some questions about that FAT16: Is it possible to create really > large partitions with it (up to 2GB) ? Where can I find PATCHCOM.COM? It should be possible. I wouldn´t advise to create such partition since there is no chkdsk.com for fat16. If anything goes wrong (a stupid program overwrites FAT) you can´t repair it.... I just used deltree.com on my fat16 drive. Well, I can confirm it didn´t work. Actually it screwed up the fat. Argh! I´m trying to save what is still readable right now :-(. My advise: stick only to the dos commands no external programs, coz this can ruin everything. It is good for backup purposes but yet as relaiable as I would like to see iit...... Look at www.msx.ch for fat driver and link to developers jap. page. For > what versions of COMMAND2.COM is it suitable? What will happen if I > accidently use my FAT16-harddisk with an unpatched COMMAND2.COM? Yes you can. Free space on a FAT16 partition will not be correctly interpreted though.
