it dont matter all that does is limit the size of file you can put in a single folder.

RIght, the FAT allocation table will address the maximum size of files that you can deal with on a drive. Like for example, with FAT32 the largest single file you can have on a drive is 4 GB. Anything any larger than that will result in a kind of a strange error message stating that there is insufficient disk space for the file.

Luckily, all the files dealing with this project a very small so using FAT or FAT32 will not make a difference. You could even do this project with a floppy disk for that matter.
