The VFAT File System Worksheet

Create the following filesystem.  Use the space below to make directory entries and fill in the FAT.  Note that in a real VFAT file system, there would be two fats, but I'm, only making you do one.  Make sure that disk blocks 3, 5, 12, and 16 are marked 'bad', using code 65536 (binary all 1's).  The Volume label for the disk is 'Main disk'
Problem #1
Directories Files Size
/ /autoexec.bat 1 cluster
/Program Files /Program Files/winfile.exe 8 clusters
/Program Files/temp /Program Files/temp/index.html 2 clusters
Problem #2
Directories Files Size
/ /Config/config.sys 1
/Config /Config/config.bak 2
/Dave's Stuff /Config/config.old (hidden file) 11

Notes:
"/" is in block #0
"Config" is in block #1
"Dave's Stuff" is in block #2
"config.sys" is in block #4
"config.bak" is in blocks 6,7
"config.old" has a problem.  There is not enough space.  Here I show it only ten long, using 8,9,10,11,13,14,15,17,18,19.  If there was an available cluster #20, that would also work, andthen the file could be 11 long.
