[[File Allocation Table#FAT32|FAT32]] is fully supported and is the preferred format for the boot drive.<ref name="Hilpert_2015_Bootable_Stick"/> Depending on the [[BIOS]] used, up to four [[Logical Block Addressing]] (LBA) hard disks of up to 128 GB, or 2 TB, in size are supported.<ref name="Mueller_2013"/> There has been little testing with large disks, and some BIOSes support LBA, but produce errors on disks larger than 32 GB; a driver such as OnTrack or EZ-Drive resolves this problem.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}} FreeDOS can also be used with a driver called <code>LFNDOS</code> to enable support for Windows 95-style long file names,<ref name="Gallagher_2014_Old-school"/> but most pre-Windows 95 programs do not support long file names, even with a driver loaded. There is no planned support for NTFS, [[ext2]] or [[exFAT]], but there are several external third-party drivers available for that purpose. To access ext2 file systems, <code>LTOOLS</code>, a counterpart to [[Mtools]], can sometimes be used to copy data to and from ext2 file system drives.{{Citation needed|date=December 2016}}
