creased. The earl systems were relativity simple, where files were smaller, but this has developed, however, as later version of windows have emerged the development has seen them remain backwards
compatible with the former filing systems, as well as move forward. Looking at the way that the windows filing system has changed can start by considering which system use which
types of filing systems, and then we can look at each of these systems in order to compare them. Figure 1 Operating system and file system (Microsoft, 2009). Operating
System File system Microsoft MS-DOS Windows 95 prior to Windows 95 (release 2) FAT16 Microsoft Windows 95 (release 2) and Microsoft Windows 98 FAT16 and FAT32 Microsoft Windows
NT NTFS and FAT16 Windows 2000 and subsequent versions NTFS 5, FAT16, and FAT32 Each of these has significant differences. The FAT 16 system is able to deal with volume
sizes up to and including 4 GB, from sizes that fitted on to a floppy disk although not all early versions have this capacity. The maximum file size is 2
GB. The use of this system is not able to support Windows 2000 or later versions and is also not able to support Active Directory (IBM, 2009). However, this
does allow the user to access files on the hard drive through MS-DOS (IBM, 2009). This also a system that facilitates the use of NWSD configuration files (IBM, 2009).
The NWSD dump tool can also be used with this system, in order to retrieve files (IBM, 2009). FAT 32 is the next version, this is
very similar, but it can hold much larger volumes, from 512 MB up to 2 terabytes (IBM, 2009). However, on Windows Server and OS/400 there is a limit pf 32
