Comparing FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS

You can use FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, or a combination of these file systems on a Windows 2000 system. The choice you make depends on such things as:

  • How the computer is used.
  • The hardware platform.
  • The size and number of hard disks.
  • Security considerations.
