# FAT disk

Back to [documentation index](index.md)

To create a disk, you can use your favourite partition tool.

With linux tools, a common way to create a FAT empty image is:

```
# Create a 50M file full of zero
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/disk.img bs=1M count=50
# Format it to FAT32
$ mkfs.vfat -F 32 disk.img
```

And that's it!

You can also use `-F 12` and `-F 16` to create a FAT12 and FAT16 filesystem.
