    This problem is easy to explain, for example, most of the operating systems we use now are graphical interfaces, should we now eliminate the command line operating system from this world? NTFS is a new storage technology that emerged after Windows NT, and it does have many advantages, but Microsoft's operating system is charged, and it is not open source. Other operating systems cannot directly read and write to NTFS partitions.

    For example, DOS cannot be run on NTFS partitions, but sometimes we need DOS, and the FAT format is retained.

    The advantage of NTFS is that it generates less fragmentation and supports large-capacity files.

    It is relatively better to use NTFS for C disk, because currently Ghost supports NTFS partitions, and the rest have 1 drive letter is fat32, which is enough, and the system backup is stored in fat32, and it can be restored by entering DOS with the boot disk.

    However, at present, they all use one-click Ghost or Dwarf Toolbox, and FAT32 has no obvious benefits, at most, it can be operated under DOS.

    There is no big disadvantage of NTFS just it can't run under pure DOS at the moment software or games are getting bigger and bigger things over 3G FAT32 can't be saved.

    This exists to be compatible with previous file formats. It is true that now that hard disks are getting bigger and bigger, various drawbacks of the FAT32 file format have seriously appeared.

    EDF partition into NTFS format can be stored larger than 4G files, FAT32 format is not compatible with 4G files to create a new chain of previous folder After saving, the extension is changed to bat format, and the green conversion is copied as follows: @echo off

    echo --

    The Echo NTFS format is the recommended format for WinXP. Converting to NTFS format can improve hard disk storage.

    echo efficiency and can set up cracked access rights to protect files. But NTFS formatted partitions are in DOS Win9X

    None of them can be recognized under the echo, and it may fail and cause inconvenience to novice users. Please do not convert unless necessary.

    echo --

    echo.convert d:/fs:ntfs

    convert e:/fs:ntfs

    convert f:/fs:ntfs

    convert g:/fs:ntfs

    convert h:/fs:ntfs

    This partition of the hard disk must be formatted into NTFS format, such as grinding fruit if your hard disk has data, such as D disk, what kind of thing you can copy the files of the D disk to the E disk, and then format the D disk to NTFS, and the strapping will be fine, without hurting the hard disk, and it will not affect the performance of the machine.

    File Allocation Form (FAT).

    A file system for MS-DOS and other Windows operating systems to organize and manage files. A File Allocation Table (FAT) is a data structure created by Windows when you format a particular volume using the FAT or FAT32 file system. Windows stores file-related information in FAT for later use when retrieving files.

    FAT32 is a file system that is derived from the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. Compared to FAT, FAT32 is able to support smaller clusters and larger capacities, allowing for more efficient allocation of disk space on FAT32 volumes.

    NTFS file system.

    An advanced file system that delivers the performance, security, reliability, and advanced features not found in a variety of FAT editions. For example, NTFS ensures volume consistency through standard transaction log functionality and recovery techniques. In the event of a system failure, NTFS is able to use log files and checkpoint information to restore file system consistency.

    on Windows

    2000 and Windows

    In XP, NTFS also provides advanced features such as file and folder permissions, encryption, disk quotas, and compression.

    FAT is 16-bit and can only support up to 2G

    It is good to use FAT32, the file arrangement is reasonable, the read and write speed is fast, and the disk wastes less space, but it is not compatible on some devices.

    FAT disk space is wasted and the read and write speed is slow, but it can be read.

    The choice is yours, if you use the XP system, fat32.
