However, some people need this, so the current version has the check disabled. Fat32format disables cluster sizes bigger than 32K for this reason. When calculating disk space, they thus end up with a value of zero. There are compatibility problems with this, as 16 bit set up programs sometimes assume that the cluster size will fit in a 16 bit integer. A couple of people asked me about 64K cluster size.

The UI has changed a bit when creating drives and UAC makes the whole process a bit more cumbersome.

Vista And Win7 fat32 formatter works with Vista and later. Check your motherboard site for a bios update. If you have problems creating partitions bigger than 137GB on an ATA (IDE) disk connected to the motherboard, make sure you have SP1 or later and an LBA48 compatible bios. Note that Windows 9x/Me are not supported and do not work, but you can use the format.exe supplied with them instead.
