My Laptop file system is set at NTFS, is this right? shouldn't it be FAT32???

Depends on how you want it...obviously you have an OS capable of NTFS (XP?, NT or 2000). For most home users, I can't see why you'd want or need NTFS though.

NTFS is certainly more suitable for laptops due to the better security.

<< NTFS is certainly more suitable for laptops due to the better security. >>



I agree with this statement espeically if you use the laptop in a corporate environment

Don't worry about it, NTFS is much better than fat32, security, error checking...

just be happy:)

Its not just more secure, its more efficiently organized, too. The efficiency of organization minimizes electrical draw from the drive. Laptops are better off with efficiency than with brute power.
