pr-man 1 Posted July 11, 2001 Ok I have used the search but was not able to find exactly what I need. I am going to start capturing video. Now I have been told that NTFS is the best for that but will my games etc work well under NTFS? Will the system run slower? Share this post Link to post
HELLBRINGER 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Everything will work fine. Its just a more secure better file system. All your games will work fine. It is actually faster. The only thing is Windows 9x will not work (95, 98, ME), nor will Linux or any other OS that cannot support NT file systems. Share this post Link to post
pr-man 1 Posted July 11, 2001 ok another question then, If I format my HD as NTFS and in that time I copy some files to a cd-r and then some time in the future I switch my HD back to Fat32. Would I still be able to read that cd-r? Share this post Link to post
HELLBRINGER 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Yes... As Windows 2000 can read NTFS and FAT32 partitions at the same time. You can read FAT32 with NTFS currently running. It should be backwards compatible, and it is. So yes... Share this post Link to post
HELLBRINGER 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Oh... and one other thing. If you choose to go back to FAT32, be VERY CAREFUL. I did it sucessfully a few weeks ago, but I have seen it go TERRIBLY BAD. SO backup all of your data before doing it. If you can avoid doing it all together do. But if it is necessary backup all data. Partition Magic 6 will do nicely. Make sure you dont stack up too many operations that are not necessary. For example if you do something, then decide to change it before you apply. You have extra operations that are a waste. So start over and put in what you want before you apply changes. Just a tip, I learned the hard way. :-) Good luck. Share this post Link to post
