A nice post indeed. Many of the amateur pc owner used to have one common question. what should be the filesystem of the hard disk and what should be advantageous?
Basically I think it depends on user’s need. In a common eye, NTFS will be a better choice. But If the user used to have a secondary unix operating system loaded in his/her system then he/she should opt for FAT32. Because, as per my knowledge uniz still doesn’t support NTFS file system. So a user can’t mount a NTFS partition in a unix filesystem. FAT32 will be a better choice in that case.
thats something i didint notice abt…..thanxx for the above info!!!
but NTFS file system would be definately the best for the ones who r using the WIN XP version. And for the UNIX users its nt true!!
