    FAT32 Vs NTFS

    Okay to all who have been talking about which is better FAT32 or NTFS i have found that they are very similair and what one lacks the other makes up for. First is my PC Specs P3-500Mhz Geniune Intel Seagate UATA/66 8.4gb Quantum Fireball UATA/66 17gb 64Mb SDRAM PC-100 Okay i have run windows 2k on a FAT32 partition for over 4 months and just a couple days ago i decided i wanted some more security so i formated my dual booting win2k/win98 system to the following DISK1 8.4gb Primary - Win2k - 3gb Primary - Win98 - 1gb Logical - 4.4gb - Games - 4.4gb DISK2 17gb Logical - 17gb - Files - 17gb Now as i have run it for a couple days now it seems to me that NTFS is much faster over FAT32 when running Win2k. And the security helped a bit aswell. So what im saying is in my experience NTFS is a good file system if you want speed and security. FAT32 has speed almost as fast as NTFS but doesnt have the security. Its up to you whether you spend your time reformatin to get NTFS if you really want security. Just leave it as FAT32 if you dont care about file security _____________________ :-) Claymen claymen@cyberdude.com
