Check Text ( C-32917r1_chk )
Open Windows Explorer and use the Properties function on each fixed local partition/drive to examine the File System specified on the General tab.

If the File System does not specify NTFS, then this is a finding.

Documentable Explanation: Some hardware vendors create a small FAT partition to store troubleshooting and recovery data. No other files should be stored here. This requirement should be documented with the IAO.
