Nobody would ever go that low level in an application - never! In fact, you'll run into great difficulty if you try. Modern NT-based OSes (XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Vista) will NOT let you have any direct access to hardware, through the HAL.\n\nThere are plenty of APIs in Win32 and .NET Framework to let you work with files and directories. Build yourself a nice recursive system with the existing APIs, rather than trying an improbable stunt like going to the FAT file system... (and are you even sure your system uses FAT? It could well be NTFS in a modern system.)

Plug in memory stick.\nGo to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management. You should be able to see it in the bottom right hand side. Right click inside the area which is your memory stick & choose format. If it does not give you this option but it has an option to create partition then choose that & when done right click inside the area again & choose format (make it fat file system).

I ran into a similar problem and deleted the program, then in browsing the owners manual I found an article about expanding a "Fat file" or "Partician". I haven't tried it yet, but it seems that windows doesn't use the entire hard-drive. And you can get more space to use by figuering out how to use these tools. Hope that helps, I've had to put my favorite computer in the shop after messing with something that didn't work as it was supposed to. (Windows reload) from supplied discs.\nSomething else you might try......See if you can add memory chips. Office depot carries them.

If you drive is formatted using FAT16 the drive can store 512 files in a root folder, when 512 files are in the root the drive is "full". A FAT12 drive can store 224 files in the root folder before being "full". Both FAT32 and NTFS file systems have no limit on the number of files in the root folder, however there are file number limits, in other words you can have space left but have the maximum number of files that teh file system type can track. \n\nQuestions to ask to figure this out include:\nOverall hard drive size as labeled by manufacturer.\nPartitioning scheme.\nFile system type.\nTotal number of files on the drive.\n\nFrank

In NTFS (new technology file system) you get more options like encrypting data and more and you can have unlimited hard drive unlimited partitions and in FAT you don't have any more options and you cannot have hard drive more than 108 GB.\n                                             hope it helps

FAT32 or NTFS: Making the Choice\nChoosing the file system to use on a Windows XP system is seldom easy, and frequently it's not just a one time decision.. Different factors can blur the decision process, and some tradeoffs are more than likely. No matter what method you choose to adopt Windows XP, you will have to face the FAT32 versus NTFS decision. Clean and upgrade installs both require you to address the situation early on in the process. Later on, if you add a drive or repartition an existing drive the decision process faces you yet again. Circumstances may dictate the choice for you, but in most cases the options have to be weighed and the tradeoffs of using each method analyzed. Let's look at the available choices.\n\nFile System Choices\nMost articles discussing file system choices look at FAT32 and NTFS as the two available choices. In reality, there are three systems which could be selected. FAT, FAT32, and NTFS. Granted, FAT32 and NTFS are the primary choices, but on occasion you'll still find the need for a FAT volume. A FAT volume has a maximum size of 2GB and supports MS-DOS as well as being used for some dual boot configurations, but backward compatibility is about  the only reason I can think of that FAT should ever be used, other than for the occasional floppy diskette. That said, let's move on to FAT32 and NTFS.\n\nWhich File System to Choose?\nAs much as everyone would like for there to be a stock answer to the selection question, there isn't. Different situations and needs will play a large role in the decision of which file system to adopt. There isn't any argument that NTFS offers better security and reliability. Some also say that NTFS is more flexible, but that can get rather subjective depending on the situation and work habits, whereas NTFS superiority in security and reliability is seldom challenged. Listed below are some of the most common factors to consider when deciding between FAT32 and NTFS.\n\nSecurity\nFAT32 provides very little security. A user with access to a drive using FAT32 has access to the files on that drive.\n\nNTFS allows the use of NTFS Permissions. It's much more difficult to implement, but folder and file access can be controlled individually, down to an an extreme degree if necessary. The down side of using NTFS Permissions is the chance for error and screwing up the system is greatly magnified.\n\nWindows XP Professional supports file encryption.\n  \n\nCompatibility\nNTFS volumes are not recognized by Windows 95/98/Me. This is only a concern when the system is set up for dual or multi-booting. FAT32 must be be used for any drives that must be accessed when the computer is booted from Windows 95/98 or Windows Me.\n\nAn additional note to the previous statement. Users on the network have access to shared folders no matter what disk format is being used or what version of Windows is installed.\n\nFAT and FAT32 volumes can be converted to NTFS volumes. NTFS cannot be converted to FAT32 without reformatting.\n  \n\nSpace Efficiency\nNTFS supports disk quotas, allowing you to control the amount of disk usage on a per user basis.\n\nNTFS supports file compression. FAT32 does not.\n\nHow a volume manages data is outside the scope of this article, but once you pass the 8GB partition size, NTFS handles space management much more efficiently than FAT32. Cluster sizes play an important part in how much disk space is wasted storing files. NTFS provides smaller cluster sizes and less disk space waste than FAT32.\n\nIn Windows XP, the maximum partition size that can be created using FAT32 is 32GB. This increases to 16TB (terabytes) using NTFS. There is a workaround for the 32GB limitation under FAT32, but it is a nuisance especially considering the size of drives currently being manufactured.\n  \n\nReliability\nFAT32 drives are much more susceptible to disk errors.\n\nNTFS volumes have the ability to recover from errors more readily than similar FAT32 volumes.

check the FAT. U can read info on DIR or FILE, BIN -> For binary. ASC -> ASCII Text.

Make sure your hard drive is formatted with the FAT-32 system.  Check the file name.  If it begins with a period, it will be hidden.\n\nAlso, check to see what type of extension the image has.  Mac OS X is tought to ignore some file types, mainly for it's HFS formatting.  I can't think of any case in which this would happen, but it's worth a shot.  Open Terminal and type:\n\ndefaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE\nkillall Finder\n\nThat will show all of the hidden files.  If your image appears here, you may have to go back to your PC and resave them to a standard format\n\nJust retype the stuff in the Terminal, except put FALSE instead of TRUE

Questions a manger might ask:\n1. What operating system will you suggest for a new user?\n2. How do you partition a hard drive?\n3. How to assemble PC?\n \nFAT32\nShort for File Allocation Table, FAT is a method used by Microsoft operating systems to keep track of the contents of a disk; the table is a chart of numbers that correspond to cluster addresses on the hard drive. \nFAT12: The oldest type of File Allocation Table that uses 12-bit binary system. A hard disk drive formatted using FAT12 can use a maximum of approximately 16,736,256 volume size and today is no longer used. If your computer is running Windows 95 or above and your FAT within FDISK is being displayed as FAT12 it is likely that your hard disk drive is corrupted, bad or has a computer virus.\n\nFAT16: FAT utilizing a 16-bit binary system. Commonly found with Windows 3.x through Windows 95. FAT16, while becoming obsolete by FAT32, is still commonly found.\n\nFAT32: Enhanced File Allocation Table utilizing a 28-bit binary system, first used in Windows 95 OSR2 and more so in Windows 98, that saves disk space by using 4k Cluster. See FAT32 Page for extended information about FAT32.\n\nNTFS\nShort for New Technology File System, NTFS is a file organizational system that stores and accesses information located on Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP operating system. NTFS offers better methods of data protection and file recovery than previous versions of FAT. \n\nAdditional information on NTFS can be found on document CH000165. \n\nAdditional information about determining the type of file system on a hard disk drive can be found on document CH000713. \n\nInstall Local  Printer:\n\nClick:\n \nStart\nPrinters and Faxes\nAdd Printer\nSelect local printer\n(Windows runs the autodetection)\nIf the windows did not find the particular driver\nClick use the following port (select what type USB, Serial Port etc.. )\nfinally select what brand (epson, agfa etc...
