Fat32 , Ntfs

[Tobius]

Hello,
I have two parties NTFS file system and file Fat32 What is the difference and can turn on any fat in 32 because I feel that the NTFS is not used.

There are various difference between FAT32 and NTFS. Like With FAT32 you can not make the partition of more than 2TB. And where else in NTFS there is 16TB .

In NTFS you assign different permissions to file but in FAT32 this feature is not available. To check right click on any folder of file go to permission and then in security tab.

FAT32 doesn't supports the files more than of 4GB but NTFS supports files of more than 4GB.
