Answer 1

Leave it be, its simply identifying your system! Its not unnormal to see this type of text during boot!

Answer 2

You do not have to get rid of this ( you actually cannot). It is simply the File system using which your Windows was installed.
If you are using Windows XP, then it can be installed using FAT32 or NTFS System.

Both these have their merits and demerits. FAT32 was introduced with Windows 95 OSR2, although reformatting was needed to use it, and DriveSpace 3 (the version that came with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98) never supported it. Windows 98 introduced a utility to convert existing hard disks from FAT16 to FAT32 without loss of data. In the NT line, support for FAT32 arrived in Windows 2000.

NTFS or New Technology File System is the standard file system of Windows NT and its descendants: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista.
It is considered more safe and versatile than FAT32. In NTFS, everything that has anything to do with a file (file name, creation date, access permissions and even contents) is stored as metadata (Metadata (Greek meta "after" and Latin data "information") are data that describe other data).This abstract approach allowed easy addition of filesystem features during the course of Windows NT's development. The downside of this approach is that it can be difficult to recover from corruption of a disk.

Answer 3

Fat32 is a type of Hard drive Formatting, Windows XP uses NTFS instaed of the older formats like Fat16 or Fat32. Don't worry about it. It's not some thing to get rid of like a virus!

File Allocation Table (FAT) is a partially patented[1] file system developed by Microsoft for MS-DOS and is the primary file system for consumer versions of Microsoft Windows up to and including Windows Me.

The FAT file system is considered relatively uncomplicated, and is consequently supported by virtually all existing operating systems for personal computers. This ubiquity makes it an ideal format for floppy disks and solid-state memory cards, and a convenient way of sharing data between disparate operating systems installed on the same computer (a dual boot environment).

The most common implementations have a serious drawback in that when files are deleted and new files written to the media, their fragments tend to become scattered over the entire media making reading and writing a slow process. Defragmentation is one solution to this, but is often a lengthy process in itself and has to be repeated regularly to keep the FAT file system clean.

Answer 4

Are you getting this before Windows is started? If so, it may be normal depending on the version of Windows you are using, because FAT32 is a type of file system structure used in older versions of Windows.

Answer 5

It normal so leave it alone before you mess your laptop up FAT32 is your file type on your laptop. It is not going to hurt anything.

Answer 6

I agree with the Dr. FAT32 is supposed to be there

Answer 7

its normal. its jsut telling you what FileSystem you have. Its normal for the boot proccess of the operating system.

Answer 8

Answer 9
