what are the different types of file allocation table
1. FAT. The traditional DOS filesystem types are FAT12 and FAT16. Here FAT stands for File Allocation Table: the disk is divided into clusters, the unit used by the file allocation, and the FAT describes which clusters are used by which files.
FAT stands for File Allocation Table and FAT32 is an extension which means that data is stored in chunks of 32 bits. These is an older type of file system that isnât commonly used these days. NTFS stands for New Technology File System and this took over from FAT as the primary file system being used in Windows.
