Answer / naushad ali

The major diff. between FAT and NTFS is security, If you
have FAT partition then Security and Quota tap will not
available.

NTFS is a much more stable format of partion and is the
newest. If a NTFS partion becomes corrupt, it can sometimes
be recovered with special software. NTFS can also recognize
more space on a Hard Drive and is a much more efficient and
faster format to use

FAT is a very old sort of format and goes all the way back
to windows 95. It can only recognize a very small hard
drives full space. If a FAT partion becomes corrupt then its
next to impossible to recover it. A FAT partion has more of
a chance of becoming corrupt if your computer crashes. FAT32
is a better version of this format but is still flawed. If
EVER offered a choice between FAT and NTFS format then pick
NTFS. It will pay off in the future and straight away.

Answer / kumar

NTFS provides everything. It supports long file names, large
volumes, data security, and universal file sharing. A
departmental NT file server will probably have all its
partitions formatted for NTFS. Because the other operating
systems cannot use it, NTFS is less attractive on personal
desktop workstations or portables.

fat
The FAT File system is used by DOS and is supported by all
the other operating systems. It is simple, reliable, and
uses little storage.
