Answer» can I install windows xp with fat 32 on Seagate SATA hardrive of 80gb 7200rpmYes.
Watch for the prompt for F6 to install the SATA drivers during the XP setup...it COMES up PRETTY fast....
patio. 8-)my hard drive does get detected but when I am trying to install windows Xp on it I get the option to install only the NTFS partition not fat 32 . does sata not supportiing the Fat 32 partition.If YES then how can I install Xp as fat 32 file SYSTEM on SATA HARD DRIVE A drive with a partition over 32 gigs needs to be formatted with NTFS unless you do some workarounds. That's why there is no option for it in setup.
If you split the drive into multiple partitions during setup you can use FAT32 on all of them.
What service pack is on that version of XP?Jason,
FORGIVE me but I just have to ask this. Why do you want FAT32 on XP rather than NTFS?
