That is simply not true... &nbsp;Most of your basic flppy disk is formatted using FAT16. &nbsp;Here's an article just to prove a point:<br />

I have a lot of data files saved on the Fujitsu 3.5-GB HDD that was in my old Windows 95-based system, and which I presume is FAT32-formatted. &nbsp;I need to access them with my HP notebook and Windows XP Home Edition. &nbsp;Can I put the old drive in a USB or Firewire enclosure and access it directly? &nbsp;Would I need any special software and/or drivers, if it is possible?<br />

Reading Win95 HDD with Windows XP

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
