ntfs system perhabs? instead of fat32

 

[feliclope]

mmm...i have fat32 only...
so......

 

[mafiafromrussia]

so if u want to use the permissions and compression and encription u'll have to conver to ntfs from fat32, u can do it with out formating, just go to help and search for "ntfs"

You cna convert from Fat32 to NTFS in the command prompt:

Start - Run - CMD
type in c: /FS:NTFS
assuming you want to convert drive c:

You will also need to visit Microsoft's web site for more help on setting up permissions.

P.S once the drive is changed to NTFS you cannot got back to Fat32.

You can only relly got back to FAt32 from NTFS by formating the drive and starting over - Partition magic claim to be able to do it on the fly -but I have never had it work for me.
