From the web I'm reading "I see a lot of people mention they got a fat bill from cloudwatch logs. I'm about to head into production and I want to make sure I don't make that mistake." So the integration is there and possibly a nice drain on your company's bottomline.

FAT is an older filesystem that has 2 versions FAT16 and
FAT32
Windows XP can use
Fat32
. However if your going to be installing XP i recomend you use NTFS, which is a much better FS overall, as it adds alot of secutiry that FAT does not have.

I have run the conversion a bunch of times without a problem, I still do not know why you need NTFS for to run games. Other than that it is a good idea to have NTFS over FAT.

Follow these instructions, but choose FAT [the formats available to the particular drive will be listed in the menu]: [url]http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm[/url] Or simply, in My Computer, rclick the drive. select Format... in the window that pops, and so on..

Why do you want to go back to FAT16? There's really no good reason to do that. FAT 16 can only support a partition size of 2GB or under. Do you mean converting from NTFS to
FAT32
, perhaps? This is not possible, at least according to Microsoft. The only conversion you can do is from
FAT32
to NTFS, but not back.

Try using Partition Magic. It has the ability to change the

partiotion to a FAT partition. Remember to backup the data before attempting any such stunts
