> what is NTFS?? Well, I see it is a "file system," but what is that?
It's how the files are organized on the disk. In the PC world there are two primary file systems, FAT and NTFS. FAT is the older system; it uses somewhat less space and is OK for smaller drives, but for larger drives the newer NTFS is preferred. It provides faster access, stores more info about the files (e.g., when they were last used), and effectively eliminates a number of FAT constraints (like maximum partition size). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
