lol, you are right metro
notice he doesnt say what ARE the right tools
I guess he wants you to grovel for those answers.
anyway, if you use FAT32, a dos(Win98) boot disk IS the right tool.
I only use NTFS on my VidCap partition to avoid the 4gig limit
The average person doesnt care about encrypted file systems or journaling, and with Win2ks stability, you dont worry that much about
lost clusters
NTFS locks me out of MY computer when Win2k fails. I cant go in and run dos programs/utilities. Im limited to the recovery console. ERD Commander is nice, but pricey. Shouldnt the OS have ERDCommander functionality built in for gods sake ? FAT32 gives you more OPTIONS. mmm thats good right ?!!
NTFS is superior the way HDTV is superior, the PRICE IS HIGH for questionable ?features?. In practice you wont notice the benefits other then the 4gig files size/32gig Drive Management limit.
A Win98 boot disk will format a 32+gig HD just fine. AND FASTER than drive manager too !!
or better yet, dual boot with linux and use it to create your partitions.
the command line still rules
