Note
• Root folders in FAT16 file system had fixed sizes, locations, and contained limited number of elements. FAT32 represents root folders like usual (sub) folders by a cluster chain of any length. The number of entries in it - files and subfolders - is unlimited. The number of folder entries is unlimited as well, though it's indirectly limited by the maximal file (folder) name length counted off from the root folder.
