For some reason, FAT32 flash drive can store files with more than 8.3 characters?
I thought FAT formatted drives can only have files with names that are no longer than 8.3 characters?
Dos was restricted to the 8.3 file name convention but I don't believe its a restriction for fat 32. I pretty sure on windows 2000 and XP if you had a fat 32 drive it saved both the long and the short (8.3) filenames in the file allocation table.
