If you are only using XP then NTFS is the better choice.
If you intend to save video/movie files which can exceed 4 GB in size then you'll need NTFS since FAT32 has a limit of 4 GB.
NTFS is also more stable, robust & secure than FAT32.
Unless you have a dual-boot set up with WinME or 98 + XP and need to access the XP partition there is no reason to use FAT32.
Do a Google search and read the links:
NTFS vs FAT32
Or open the Help & Support Center and research the subject.
I am getting a new computer which is to be clean-installed with Windows XP Pro, but I am undecided on which file system to use- FAT32 or NTFS. What is so new about this 'New Technology', which I am told is "only for XP Pro" ? What are the pros and cons of NTFS ? I would be grateful for views and experiences of users who have opt for one and then have it changed for the other becaues of some 'issues' they have found in their particular circumstances.
Thanks.
christy.
