File Systems with Windows?

[Panarchy]

Hello!

I'm typing up some study notes, (I'm doing a course, which by the end of it I will achieve [hopefully] my CCNA, A+, Network+ & MCSE certifications), but as I was/am typing up my notes, I found a blank (should've been more intent on writing it down in class!).

I've just spent more than 30 minutes on wikipedia and google trying to find out!

So I've decided to ask on a forum (this one).

Please help me out!

Here is a screenshot of what I have remembered so far:

Please help me fill in the blanks!

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: If you find/have found any mistakes in any other elements in any of the tables, please inform me!

Don't think much of your googling skills :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT

should give sufficient info - if you read through and work it out for yourself ?

Win2k was NTFS and FAT32, because it was built on NT, I'm taking my A+ & N+ as well :lol:.

Win 3.1 wasn't FAT32 nether DOS, win 9x was FAT 16&32.

Heres a simple tip if its a server edition it WILL have NTFS!!

By the way you might want to put windows 3.x due to 3.11 was a business release where as windows 3.1 was for home users but had the same file system, I might have got them the wrong way around I think 3.11 was business one though?

Okay, thanks. (Woot, taking same course as me :P)

Here are my revised tables (tell me if I missed something!)

They tried taking FAT out of VISTA so all you would see it ExFAT&NTFS (i believe), you don't get the option of fat 12/16 in XP/2K.

I'm not sure if fat12/16 would have been in 98/ME either.

FAT is also called 12-bit FAT, the file allocation table (FAT) for a floppy disk. The location of files on a floppy disk are listed in a one-column table in the FAT. Because the width of each entry in a floppy disk column is 12 bits, the FAT is called FAT12. As a file system for floppy disks, it had a number of limitations: no support for hierarchical directories, cluster addresses were "only" 12-bits long (which made the code manipulating the FAT a bit tricky) and the disk size was stored as a 16-bit count of sectors, which limited the size to 32MB.

I do not quite get why you didn't list Windows NT (3.1 and 4) together with 2000, XP, and Vista.

But both NT 4 and 2000 also had server versions (Windows NT 4 Server, and Windows 2000 Server).

Anyways, enjoy ;)

Are you using this as a project or is it just for your own revision?

if its a project I wouldn't risk putting it on the internet.

[Panarchy]

Nope, just some 'artistic' notes of mine :D

Anyways, here is the complete term 1 notes: http://www.mediafire.com/?no1z0lzc0yy

Missed anything ?

The OSI table is an exact copy of the Wiki entry.

[Panarchy]

Almost

I also copied it a bit from CCNA essentials study guide ebook.

(I couldn't copy direct from wiki, the table wouldn't copy)

ISO 9660

WinFS (code name for future file system)

Tests are over.

I failed Net+ :cry:

(Not the actual certification test, but my post-secondary educational institute Net+ test)

[Scarecrow Man]

Study a bit more and try again. You will get it.

[Panarchy]

Thanks, will do.

[Panarchy]

Yes :P

Passed the test! (82.4%)

WOOT!

[Scarecrow Man]
