The above is my bad - I meant the limitation is 16 vs 32 FAT sizes, not
clusters per se.

And yes, you can leave the C: drive at 16 and have all the other drives,
logical or physical, at 32.

There's an additional limitation of 2GB as the max partition size that
can be mounted - so your C: drive would have to be 2GB or less.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
