Best Answer

Windows Vista does not officially support booting from a FAT32 drive, although it is technically possible. Vista supports FAT32 on Flash drives and hard drives, although it will not format a hard drive over 32 GB as FAT32.

Windows 7 can read and write drives formatted FAT32. Windows 7 cannot be installed onto a FAT32 formatted drive though, it must be formatted NTFS.
