NTFS or FAT32

December 2, 2010 9:18pm CST
Hello mylotters, I searched in google on what are the difference of NTFS from FAT32. And i found that NTFS are more secured, more spaces to use because of its compression while FAT32 are not secured, used in dual booting. Is this right? What type of volume you are using in you hard drive? and why?

I format my Hard Disks always with the NTFS Formats . The main reasons are as you said NTFS is more secure than FAT . Also the latest format of FAT is FAT32 . This FAT32 format can support only a maximum file size of more or less 4 Gigabytes . Also the FAT format has become old nowadays . NTFS is Up and moving . So it is always recommended you use the NTFS format for your disks and drives .

what if i installed 2 OS in my hard drive? Is it ok if im in NTFS volume? Beacuse base on my research if you are making a dual boot in your hard drive, it is better to use FAT32. Is it right?

No surely NTFS is only better . FAT32 is recommended for only older OS like 98 and ME . From XP to Vista and Windows 7 only NTFS is recommended .
