Which file format can be run on all OS ?

Question

Which file format can be run on all OS ?

Answer 1

Not sure of your question, but ASCII maybe be what you are looking for, if you mean which format supports all operating systems then see below.



FAT32 runs Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 Server, 2000 Professional, XP Home, XP Longhorn, XP Professional, and XP Media Edition 2005, but I don't know about Vista.

FAT32 also runs Linux based operating systems.



I believe Windows 3.0, 3.1 and 95 use FAT16.

Answer 2

Linux is a Kernel file, Unix is an operating system. The file formats would depend on what programming language was used to write the files and what file extension they have assigned to them. The main issue is if they will run and operate on the format form of the hard drives and if the systems can recognize those formats and work with it. The files that make up the Linux operating system have to have extra files installed in order to see and work with the Unix hard drive format structure. Either way you will not be able to run ever file one system has in another system. That is one of the purposes for Virtual Machine or Virtual Box. It becomes a little difficult when you are working with Proprietary Operating Systems. One that comes to mind is PCBSD (Unix Based with Linux) I' am sure some one will have a lot better answer for this question. I'm not an expert on this subject. I play around with several different operating systems, but choose to run Linux on six computers.
