>I use NTFS whenever it's available as a choice. I use FAT16 on my 1GB Jaz cartridges. If you start using FAT and later decide to switch to NTFS it can be done without reformatting and reinstalling; once you switch to NTFS, the only way to convert it back to FAT is reformatting, or the use of a third-party product like Partition Magic.


Thanks Ed and Al.

I'm aware that NTFS is really a better inherent design than FAT32. You are both saying that it is more robust. I expect it would be faster for most of the development work that I do but that is not a big consideration. I would trade off a little speed for greater reliability.

So the only reason that I was tending toward FAT32 is that I've used it before. But I'm not hearing any downside to going with NTFS and plenty or reasons to do it.
