Are Writelog, Dxbase, and AR-Cluster compatible with NTFS? Microsoft recommends NTFS with XP. The backup program included on the XP Home CDROM will only work with NTFS drives >4 Gb. I certainly don't
There is no reason that a windows program will not run on NTFS. I would not convert myself. NTFS is actually slower, although it is perhaps a bit less likely to lose data. The biggest problem is that
I converted. I found that NTFS and XP were very much more stable than any other combination I have ever tried (havne't tried 2K or Linux). I've found that all my windows programs that used FAT/FAT32
PLEASE do NOT confuse people with that erroneous information. You have only copied the files but your registry is not copied. You have moved the files to a different drive so all the registry would b
_________________________________________________________ I second the recommendation. I originally installed XP using NTFS but later changed back to FAT32. NTFS has some advantages for a networked s

Partition Magic will convert NTFS (maybe even both versions) to FAT or FAT32 with only a few restrictions e.g. a logic disk which spans more than one spindle cannot be converted since that concept do
Like I said, there are some program can be written but you have already said that you can lose some things and maybe one in 10000 have Partition <Magic. I have it but refused to pay the upgrade to th
I did the conversion and the only thing I found is that when the computer is turned off rather than Win XP shutting it down, it comes up faster and doesn't check the disk for errors before starting.
All true. The main reason not to convert is if you want access from DOS or WIN98 or other program that does not support NTFS. The disk is never checked for errors with FAT32 either if it had been sh
Since I am the one who asked the original question (whether WriteLog was OK with NTFS) and that has been answered as well as a few other considerations discussed, I'd like to thank those who responde
I'm amazed. We get an irate e-mail from one WriteLog reflector member after just a few exchanges discussing the relative merits of the N1MM logger vis a vis WriteLog -- a topic which I'm sure many fo
_________________________________________________________ Please tell me what the advantages are. If I'm missing something, I will convert over. Here is the official Microsoft help file on NTFS. Note

You have the real word on this now. I can see only one reason for a home user to use NTFS. That is the ability to control access to files for user accounts. that MAY be a good reason, even for me. It
I know the discussion of file systems et al is off topic for this list. But there seems to be enough posts on it that I felt I may be able to add some beneficial info - and try to tie it in to our u
_________________________________________________________ One last post on the subject and I'll be quiet. Several people have pointed out that NTFS does have some self-repair capabilities that FAT do
Just be certain that you make a FULL backup b before you convert because that is the only reasonable way to go back unless you have the latest Partition Magic. I would make a backup anyway. Norton Gh
