NTFS is the file system that works best with large disks. (The next best
file system for large disks is FAT32.)
There is one situation in which you might want to choose FAT or
FAT32 as your file system.
If it is necessary to have a computer that will sometimes run an earlier
version of Windows and other times run Windows XP, you will need
to have a FAT or FAT32 partition as the primary (or startup) partition
on the hard disk.
Earlier versions of Windows cannot access a partition if it uses the
latest version of NTFS.
The two exceptions are Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 with
Service Pack 4 or later. Windows NT is not, however, supported by this
device.
You will obtain additional information about this on the next page.
Important
Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot
simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to
reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data
including programs and personal files on the partition.
Remark
There are some older programs that cannot be run on a
NTFS capacity. Because of this, you should find out the
actual requirements of the software before the conversion.
