Converting to NTFS
Thursday, May 8th, 2008The old DOS operating system used a file system called FAT (file allocation table) which came in fat12, fat16 and fat32 variants. Windows NT introduced a new file system called NTFS (new technology file system) and that’s the preferred file system for the newer versions of that operating system such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Vista. These systems still support FAT though for backwards compatibility and in some instances someone configures the system to actually use FAT rather than the better HTFS. All is not lost though as you can actually convert your drive from one file system to the other as this article describes.
