"...when NTFS gets corrupted, it's harder to work with than FAT32."

All of my data is on FAT32 partitions, that are separate from the O.S. partitions. The above quote explains why I do that. Occasionally I'll create a DVD ISO that will have to be on one of my NTFS O.S. partitions temporarily, due to FAT32's file size limitations.

Since I have only an (NT) O.S. and its programs on my NTFS partitions, I can wipe the partition and restore it from my backup, in case the NTFS file system ever got trashed (and that would be from my backup DVD, made from the ISO, like I mentioned above!).
