As time had passed the need for larger drives became obviously apparent and LBA was introduced along with INT 13 to offer support to the ever growing size of hard drives. Which of the following operating systems was the first to incorporate FAT 32 as a means to provide hard drive access?
Windows 98 with service pack 1.1
