WIN XP O/S |
Windows? Obviously NTFS...
|
NTFS for all NT-family OS's.
|
win xp = ntfs
fat32 = linux |
Ah Thx I figured as much

A lil Bump for anyone else who'd like to know

NTFS only if you are going to be working with big files (over 4 Gb) in Windows XP.
|
I've found fat32 to be not as stable as NTFS it may provide more free space at times but its not as secure / stable & is more likely to crash
|
always NTFS for XP :)
|
ntfs for win installs of course
|
NTFS for sure.
|
Entirely depends on what's important for you:
stability, native NT(+) security, large file sizes -> NTFS privacy -> FAT32 |
