FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS are two methods for storing
data on a hard drive. The hard drive has to either be
formatted using one or the other or can be converted from
one to the other (usually FAT to NTFS) using a system tool
NTFS is a high-performance and self-healing file system
proprietary to Windows XP 2000 NT which supports file-level
security compression and auditing. It also supports large
volumes and powerful storage solution such as RAID.
The most important new feature of NTFS is the ability to
encrypt files and folders to protect your sensitive data
