My computer has two hard drives installed. One is a 4.3G hard drive as the primary drive, divided into three partitions, C, D, and E, all in FAT16 format. The other is a 40G hard drive, divided into several partitions, all in FAT32 format. WIN2000 is installed on drive C, WIN98 is installed on drive D, and XP is installed on drive F. Right now I use ghost for backups, backing up WIN98, but I can only do the backup under Win98. Can DOS access FAT32-format partitions? How can it access them, and how can I do backups under DOS? Under DOS I can only access the three FAT16 partitions. I want to put the backup into a partition in FAT32 format. Please, experts, help me out. Thanks.

Of course old versions of DOS do not support FAT32 or large hard drives, but newer versions of DOS basically all support FAT32.

The DOS in current 98 versions all supports FAT32, and all can access FAT32 under DOS.

Nowadays higher-version DOSes like MS-DOS 7.10/8.0, ROM-DOS 7.10, FreeDOS, PTS-DOS 2000 6.90, DR-DOS 7.05, PC-DOS 7.10, RxDOS 6.2, etc. all support FAT32 partitions.。。
