Oo Since when is a file system an operating system?

Think what you want, but I apreciate it if you don't go suggesting/telling these things to others, especially on this forum, as this is absolutely totaly nonsense...

Sorry, but you need to learn how things realy work without relying on you intuition.

Riiiiiiight, again something new for me... Ever noticed the options in Partition Magic where you can set all the parameters for a drive?????? (oh, and too many logical blocks doesn't render a drive unbootable; it isn't very healty for data integrity though)

Come again??? Sorry, but this shows how much you know. This is only true if you use lots of small files (which in practice you almost never will). In practice, a too small clustersize will even limit the amount of files you can use and the amount of filesizes (as you can only have so much defined clusters on one HD)....

my ole school lost alot of data when one of the drives got hit by a virus that destroys the mft
the computer tech dude said to me, wouldn't have happened with fat32
riiiiight.... so what does that say to you? That NFTS is worse then FAT32??? Think again. It either means that the virus was specifically written to attach NFTS's, or that the "tech" dude also didn't know what he was talking about (you only need to overwrite a few bytes to render your whole holy FAT32 useless)...

Fault tolerance only works when the drive supports it
and not all drives do
Chris is talking about the built-in recovery/fault tolerance in the file system, not the one from the harddisk. As you are so experienced with FS's you should have know that...

i've used compressed drivers
i've been partitioning formatting low level formatting and converting hard disks since i was 8
i used to rip macs apart and piece em back together, to a working state
using drives, assembling drives, formatting drives, experiencing problems, etc, doesn't mean you know how it works "under the hood".

just don't speak at all
I do have a "base" of people like that. And if it is all the same to you. I know also a lot of people who claim to be a computer repair man, but in fact don't know much about it and spread the same old rumours. And I also know computer repair people who come to me when they have some problems they can't fix.

Time to start reading then.... Most (important) stuff is in those books. Oh and also, in school you don't learn that much (if not nothing) about the things "under the hood". It is all basic stuff. And, yes, again I know what I'm talking about....

also if you do go with ntfs on a single partition use this
1. Start regedit from the run command.
2. Check out for that key called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem
3. Create a DWORD-variable with the name NtfsMftZoneReservation.
4. Add the value 1 = 12.5% (Windows default value) or 2 = 25%. This values are percent free Harddiskspace.
5. Reboot the system
bigger hard disks need a bigger MFT reserved space otherwise the mft won't be written and you will lose data
Duh! (oh, and they don't "need" bigger MFT reserved space at all!!! When you allocate less space then needed you will simply not be able to use the full capacity of the drive, no data will be lost at all)
