TP General - Compatibility with Windows 95 OSR2 Fat 32
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
Software not explicitly written for FAT32 will not function correctly or possibly fail to install. May receive message "An error occurred while accessing C." while trying to install software.
CONFIGURATION:
Any system running Windows 95 OSR2 or later with ability to install FAT32.
SOLUTION:
TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
If possible run the non FAT32 driver from a FAT formatted drive or diskette. This may not be possible in many scenarios.
PERMANENT SOLUTION:
May not be available. There is a limited amount of software written explicitly for FAT32.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
In order to enable FAT32 large disk support on a drive, you must be running Microsoft Windows OSR2. Run FDISK then format the drive.
The following message from Microsoft is displayed when running FDISK from a machine loaded with Microsoft Windows OSR2.
IMPORTANT: If you enable large disk support and create any new drives on this disk, you will not be able to access the new drive(s) using other operating systems, including some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT, as well as earlier versions of Windows and MS-DOS. In addition, disk utilities that were not designed explicitly for the FAT32 file system will not be able to work with this disk. If you need to access this disk with other operating systems or older disk utilities, do not enable large drive support.
