Help To Remove File size limit {4Gb} On fat32

[Zxian]

NTFS is transactional based, giving much better reliability, ever noticed you don't get "lost chains" like you use to when you run CHKDSK.

Also means the critical write times are longer and it's easier to mess something up if the power goes off halfway through a write. I don't know about you, but I've never had any problems with FAT32 besides the usual incorrect free space count and occasional partial blocks of clusters that were the result of a bad shutdown.

The whole point of transactional based systems is that the system can fix the problem if an error occurs. If a FAT32 drive gets a bad write due to a power outage, chances are the blocks that were being written to will have errors in them. The transation handling of the NTFS filesystem means that in the event of a partial write, either the write is continued or rolled back. This results in fewer write errors on NTFS than with FAT32.

You will never convince the Microsoft believers

that all they have been told by Microsoft is not

necessarily true or good or in their best interest.

They have grown up with Microsoft and hold their

knowledge base as a bible or banner outlining

the proper way to live. Their belief that a company

as large as Microsoft can't possibly be wrong puts

them in the same category as the ENRON ahareholders

that were shafted hard.

If they want to use NTFS, or leave every service running

or upgrade to Vista just because Microsoft says that's

the PROPER way, then let them follow along like good

little sheeple. The truth will surface soon enough and

they will either learn by their mistakes or continue into

oblivion.

Also, Microsoft says that with non Windows NT-based operating systems,

defragmentation of the virtual memory will cause Windows to be messed up! BS!

I defragmented the swap file under Windows 95 and Windows 98 for years and Windows was still fine.
