TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

You can install it on FAT32, but you have to do it manually. It's also
very much recommended that you don't run it on FAT32 for reliability
issues. Finally, some features (in particular, tablespaces) do not work
on FAT32.
You need to download the binaries-no-installer and go from there.


This is definitly the recommended way. Note that you can use the
"convert" utility (just type convert /? on the commandline for help) to
convert your existing system without the need to reformat.
