mean error that it only supports NTFS type. Can I install pg8 at FAT32? 

Hi Gul,
You can install :), but I'm not sure pg8 can be runs in fat32, Because
some functions of pg8 not support in fat32.

You can see this FAQ:

If you have OS that supports NTFS, you can use console command 'convert'
to convert FAT to NTFS.
