lafleur1977 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 My laptop hard drive is partitioned in to two. I was wondering if its safe to convert my c drive, which has all the data on atm, from fat32 to ntfs. I have converted the other partition from fat32 to ntfs, but that had no data on it. Also how can I convert it without formatting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike567 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I would stick to FAT32 personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I would stick to FAT32 personally.It depends what you're using it for.FAT does not have any security, nor does it support large files. It is, however, better for gaming as it is a bit faster for reading/writing files as it uses a different type or journaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I would stick to FAT32 personally.No way - we were on FAT32 for too long time; loss of data required Win9x reinstallation at least once or twice a year. Not a single reinstallation since Win2K with NTFS. No data loss whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
