A file allocation table (FAT) is a table that an operating system maintains on a hard disk that provides a map of the clusters (the basic unit of logical storage on a hard disk) that a file has been stored in When you write a new file to a hard disk, the file is stored in one or more clusters that are not necessarily next to each other; they may be rather widely scattered over the disk A typical cluster size is 2,048 bytes, 4,192 bytes, or 8,096 bytes The operating system creates a FAT entry for the new file that records where each cluster is located and their sequential order When you read a file, the operating system reassembles the file from clusters and places it as an entire file where you want to read it For example, if this is a long Web page, it may very well be stored on more than one cluster on your hard disk A more detailed definition can be found here

fat

(File Allocation Table) Pronounced "fat " The file system used by DOS and 16-bit versions of Windows to manage files stored on hard disks, floppy disks, and other disk media The file system takes its name from an on-disk data structure known as the file allocation table, which records where individual portions of each file are located on the disk (See also VFAT )

fat

File Allocation Table An area of data on a hard or floppy disk under MS-DOS, Windows 3 x and Windows 95 (and Windows NT in some cases) which enables the operating system to find out where a file is stored on the disk Corruption of the FAT, caused by physical damage to a disk, faulty software or a virus, can be fixed by someone with the necessary skills and software tools

(File Allocation Table) This table information is stored in the Data section of a bootable disk (floppy or hard) It normally consists of the first 63 sectors Information about each file, size, location, and number of sectors used to store the file are keep here If the table (Table 1) becomes corrupted there is a backup table (Table 2) Windows uses Table 1 to read files, Scandisk for Windows can also read Table 2 if needed Fdisk can read Table 2 also, if you use the MBR switch (fdisk /mbr) to repair the boot sector If the Table becomes corrupted this is known as losing the FAT Microsoft Press's: A file system based on a file allocation table, maintained by the operating system, to keep track of the status of various segments of disk space used for file storage The 32-bit implementation in Windows 9x is called the Virtual File Allocation Table (VFAT) More about FAT

feelings If you say that there is fat chance of something happening, you mean that you do not believe that it will happen. `Would your car be easy to steal?' --- `Fat chance. I've got a device that shuts down the gas and ignition.'. file allocation table. Any organic compound of plant or animal origin that is not volatile, does not dissolve in water, and is oily or greasy. Chemically, fats are identical to animal and vegetable oils, consisting mainly of triglycerides (esters of glycerol with fatty acids). Fats that are liquid at room temperature are called oils. Differences in melting temperature and physical state depend on the saturation of the fatty acids and the length of their carbon chains. The glycerides may have only a few different component fatty acids or as many as 100 (in butterfat). Almost all natural fats and oils incorporate only fatty acids that are constructed from two-carbon units and thus contain only even numbers of carbon atoms. Natural fats such as corn oil have small amounts of compounds besides triglycerides, including phospholipids, plant steroids, tocopherols (vitamin E), vitamin A, waxes, carotenoids, and many others, including decomposition products of these constituents. Sources of fats in foods include ripe seeds and some fruits (e.g., corn, peanuts, olives, avocados) and animal products (e.g., meat, eggs, milk). Fats contain more than twice as much energy (calories) per unit of weight as proteins and carbohydrates. Digestion of fats in foods, often partial, is carried out by enzymes called lipases. The breakdown products are absorbed from the intestine into the blood, which carries microscopic fat droplets reconstituted from digested fats (or synthesized in cells) to sites of storage or use. Fats are readily broken down primarily into glycerol and fatty acids by hydrolysis, a first step for many of their numerous industrial uses. See also lipid.
