but FFS and FAT are 2 diverse File Systems? i guess are all 16 -bit work and the FAT support hard disk for 2GB max. And, if i use an internal 2.5 IBM Notebook preformatted hard drive, how to prepare and format for use with workbench?


No, FFS is 32-bit, as mentioned above.
(edited due to incorrect mathematics....)

FAT16, the old MS file system, was 16-bit, hence only able to adress 65536 sectors. With the max sector size of 32768B (!) it maxed out on 2 GB, and wasted lots of space, because no matter how small the file was, it occupied 32kB of space on the HD.
