File system is depending on Operation systems & hard Disk sizes.
At the time 1990 there were only dos which supports only FAT16 (File allocation table)
Upto MS-DOS 6.22 & Windows 3.1 & 3.11 It works only on FAT16
FAT16 Has it's limitation that it can't support more than 2.1 GB partition at a time.
After that windows 95 & Windows 98
That supported FAT16 & FAT32 only.
Windows NT supports
FAT16 as well as It develops new file systems HPFS i.e. (High Performance File System)
Later i.e. is called as NTFS (New Technology File System)
NTFS is now a largest support for us.
