Windows 2000 Server: Fat 32 Disadvantages

The disadvantages of FAT32 are that it lacks several of the features offered by NTFS for a windows 2000 system, such as local security, file encryption, disk quotas, and compression.

If you choose to use FAT, Windows 2000 will automatically format the partition with FAT16 if the partition is under 2GB. Partitions over 2GB will be automatically partitioned as FAT32.

Warning: Windows NT 4 and earlier releases of NT do not support FAT32.
