"Advantages to NTFS
INcreased robustness - is a transactional file system and can automatically recover from many errors (you'll never see "windows was shut down improperly...please run scandisk" again)
Increased security - access to files, folders and drives can be secured and/or encrytped
Support for large media (no limits on individual file size - fat 32 max size is 4Gb)
support for large hard disks up to 2 terabytes and performance doesn't degrade as size grows unlike fat
faster access
plus...you can set disk quotas, have mount points, use distributed link tracking
i'd never go back...but then i don't need DOS anymore...
this would only be the case in a dedicated 2k/xp environment...this set up would prevent you from using win9x or dos ...the primary active partition must be fat or fat32 if you want a dual boot machine...since dos and win9x can't start from any partition but primary...Quote:
: NTFS for your system partition, FAT32 for your scratch disks
you're right in your warning..i think it's some kind of xp/explorer thing...i'm pretty sure that these files would be accessible through DOS...fat simply doesn't have the ability as far as i knowQuote:
Actually, in XP you can enable that security, even with a FAT32 FS. .
Heh, was gonna post but I just noticed that Wab73 already said want I wanted to say... ;)
