Microsoft operating systems store data in fixed length blocks of bytes called clusters, with the size of these blocks depending on the type of storage device and the size of the storage device. A File Location Table (FAT) is used to track the clusters that have been allocated to a specific file for Microsoft DOS, Windows, Windows 95, and Windows 98. The operating system relies upon the FAT to locate the data associated with a specific file and references in the FAT act as pointers to identify clusters by n

Utilized when many computer systems are connected together as part of a Local Area Network (LAN), a file server can retain email messages, financial data, word processing information, or be used to back-up the network. When several or many computers are networked together in a LAN situation, one computer may be utilized as a storage location for files for the group. File servers may be employed to store email, financial data, word processing information or to back-up the network. See Server.
