Information: Would you like to use FAT32?  If leave your file system as
FAT16,
then you will have no problems.  If you convert to FAT32, and MS Windows is
installed on this partition, then you must re-install the MS Windows boot
loader.  If you want to do this, you should consult the Parted manual (or
your
distribution's manual).  Also, converting to FAT32 will make the file system
unreadable by MS DOS, MS Windows 95a, and MS Windows NT.
