In a nutshell - every
In a nutshell - every filesystem has size limitations. In your case when you clone to a much smaller drive it probably detects that size of the destination partition is too small for FAT32 so it offers to convert it to FAT16. You can use FAt32 on a smaller partition sizes but a) you would be wasting space (and it is precious on small partitions) and b) this FAT32 small partition may not be compatible with MS software.
Would you like to reply?
