    NTFS is much better then fat32 since ntfs is the New Technology file system that Microsoft have developed it is faster, has much more security features and allows to apply security settings per file which is not possible on fat32.

          NTFS is much more stable then fat anyways if you have windows xp and want to convert a hard drive from ntfs to fat you can use the convert command at msdos.

                NTFS is better because you can decide how big you want your hard drive sectors to be. This can give you a lot more usable space on your hard drive versus FAT16 and FAT32.
                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                          Yeah, NTFS is better. The only problem is that I keep my windoze installation kit on my hard drive (I hate installing it from a CD), so if there's a problem and I have to reinstall windoze, I have to do this within a MSDOS session, and MSDOS don't recognize NTFS, so I'm in deep shit. That happened to me a couple of times, and from then on FAT32 is the anwer for me... Pretty dumb, huh?

                            NTFS will save more space, but if you plan on installing an OS like win98 then you need fat32.

                              I'm pretty sure that FAT 32 doesn't handle files over 4 (or 5??) GB.

                                Fat32 can handle large files ...

                                  F the microcrap stuff and go with the penguin, linux is a much better os and works well on the desktop if you have the time to make it all work. Otherwise NTFS cant be beat

                                    Thats is the dumbest reason i can think of for using fat32.

                                            Keep the drive FAT! if you want to repartician the drive later you will have problems with NTFS

                                              Cause everyone else voted NTFS and I am fat too so I can kind of relate more to fat32.

                                                I'm not sure about that.
                                                I had to do some DVD ripping and the output files were a couple gigs big
                                                I was told i had to use NTFS
                                                but then my windows98 couldn't do that, so i had to upgrade to XP
                                                Spank me
                                                Dude, where's my traffic?
