re: formating one or two partitions Sunday, July 24, 2005 at 4:23 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rich Kurtz (12246 messages posted) Falcon's virus/malware cleanup routine I would not use anything but NTFS. It's never given me a problem and seems to be much less suceptible to damage do to improper shutdowns. They don't happen often but they do occur. I think my preference (bias?) comes from my OS/2 HPFS background which is the base NTFS is built on. The only time I've used FAT32 was when I was multi-booting OS/2, XP and Linux and I set up one FAT32 partition to share data on. I think this is one of those politics and religion things :-) Repair install WinXP Clean install WinXP Written in response to: formating one or two partitions (Bharat Bhatnagar: Saturday, April 9, 2005 at 3:41 am) Responses to this message: re: formating one or two partitions (wcleve1: Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 8:21 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] formating one or two partitions (Bharat Bhatnagar: Sat, Apr 9, 2005, 3:41 am) re: formating one or two partitions (mojo7819: Sat, Apr 9, 2005, 4:14 am) re: formating one or two partitions (borg: Sat, Apr 9, 2005, 4:23 am) re: Formatting one or two partitions.
