Windows 95 does not include any supported FAT converter. The user may have one of three options available to get FAT32 support.

Recreate the partition

If you are running Windows 95 OSR2, you can delete your partition (which deletes all your information) and recreate the partition using FAT32.

Use third-party partition utility

The user can purchase the Partition Magic utility to convert their hard drive partitions from FAT16 to FAT32 and change other aspects of the drive.

Upgrade to Windows 98 or later version of Windows

Alternatively, you can upgrade to Windows 98 or later version of Windows, which during the upgrade can convert the hard drive to FAT32.

  • See our FAT32 and hard drive pages for further information on each of these terms.
