NTFS or FAT_ application tips

1, what is the ntfs-new (N) technology (T) document (F) system (S)?

To understand NTFS, we should first recognize fat. FAT (file allocation table) is the meaning of the????? For us, its significance lies in the management of the hard disk partition. FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS are the three most common file systems available today.
FAT16: We used the DOS, Windows 95 use FAT16 file system, now commonly used Windows 98/2000/XP and other systems support FAT16 file system. It can manage up to 2GB of partitions up to a maximum, but there can be up to 65,525 clusters per partition (the cluster is the configured unit of disk space). With the increase of hard disk or partition capacity, the space of each cluster will become bigger and larger, which leads to waste of hard disk space.
FAT32: With the advent of high-capacity hard drives, starting with Windows 98, FAT32 is starting to pop. It is an enhanced version of the FAT16 that can support partitions up to 2TB (2048G). FAT32 uses a smaller cluster than FAT16, thus effectively saving hard disk space.
NTFS: A disk format designed specifically for network and disk quotas, file encryption, and other management security features supported by the Microsoft Windows NT kernel's series of operating systems. With the popularization of Windows 2000/XP with NT as the kernel, many individual users begin to use NTFS. NTFS also stores data files in clusters, but the size of the clusters in NTFS does not depend on the size of the disk or partition. The reduction of cluster size not only reduces the waste of disk space, but also reduces the possibility of producing disk fragmentation. NTFS supports file encryption management, which provides users with a higher level of security assurance.

2, what system can support the NTFS file system?

Only Windows NT/2000/XP can recognize NTFS systems, and Windows 9x/me and DOS systems do not support and identify NTFS-formatted disks. Since the DOS system does not support NTFS, it is best not to make the C: Disk an NTFS system, which is easy to repair under the DOS system after the system crashes.
NTFS and operating system support are as follows:
FAT16 Windows 95/98/me/nt/2000/xp Unix,linux,dos
FAT32 Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP
NTFS Windows NT/2000/XP

3. Do we need NTFS?

Windows 2000/XP is backward-compatible on file systems, and it supports FAT16/FAT32 and NTFS, where NTFS is a Windows NT/2000/XP dedicated format that makes more efficient use of disk space, supports file-level compression, have better file security. If you are installing only Windows 2000/XP, it is recommended that you select the NTFS file system. If multiple boot systems, the system disk (C disk) must be FAT16 or FAT32, or multiple booting is not supported. Of course, the file system for other partitions can be NTFS.

4. How do I convert a FAT partition to NTFS?

Windows 2000/XP provides the partition format conversion tool "Convert.exe". Convert.exe is a DOS command-line program that comes with Windows 2000 that allows you to convert FAT to NTFS without damaging the FAT file system. It's easy to use, first switch to a DOS command line window in Windows 2000, and at the prompt, type: D:\>convert The drive letter/fs:ntfs that you want to convert. If the system e disk is originally FAT16/32, you now need to convert to NTFS, you can use the following format: D:\>convert e:/fs:ntfs. All conversions will be completed after the system restarts. I recommend using this method for conversion!

In addition, you can also use special conversion tools, such as the famous hard disk Lossless partition tool PowerQuest Partition Magic 7.0, software download page http://soft.km169.net/soft/html/1964.htm, It is also very easy to use it to complete the conversion of the disk file format. First select the partition you want to convert in the list of disk partitions in the interface. Select the Convert Partition button from the interface button bar, or select convert from the "Operations" Item drop-down menu in the Interface menu bar. Activates the functional interface. Select the conversion output to "NTFS" in the interface, then click the "OK" button to return to the main interface of the program. Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the interface to add settings. The system then reboots and completes the transformation of the partition format.

5. How to retrieve the missing files from the NTFS-formatted partition?

You can use specialized software, such as final data for NTFS, or get data back for NTFS 1.04. Both of these software have a good file recovery effect. I recommend the use of data recovery powerful, fast get data back for FAT 1.05/ntfs 1.04 (2 software), download address http://download-tipp.de/cgi-bin/... phrase& Bool=and. If there is no file operation after the file is deleted, the recovery rate is close to 100%. So do not wait until the file is deleted before installing the software, preferably with the Windows System installation, and in the case of file mistakenly deleted immediately after the recovery operation, generally can be deleted files back.

6, if Windows 2000/XP installed in C disk (NTFS format), when Windows crashes in DOS state can not enter the C disk, how to do?

You can use the Windows 2000/xp installation CD to boot to repair windows, or to make a Windows 2000/xp installation startup emergency disk. Note: The installation disk maker for Windows 2000 is in the program's installation CD, and Windows XP emergency disk production is provided independently and needs to be downloaded from Microsoft's website.

7. Final Data for NTFS or get data back for NTFS fixes an unexpectedly formatted hard drive?
Both software can recover the formatted deleted data (except for low-level formatting). The normal format deletes only the data information, the low-level format deletes all data area, when the hard disk technology is not as developed as now, the disk surface is very easy to wear. Hard disk users often use low-level formatting to read errors that often occur. Repair the formatted hard drive, you can only remove the hard drive, install it on another computer, and then perform a file repair operation. Final data can even fix hard drives that are damaged by the CIH virus.

8. How do I read and write directly to the NTFS file system under Windows (FAT system)?

When the computer is installed with Windows 98 and Windows 2000/XP two operating systems, how can I read and write directly to the NTFS file system under the FAT system? Although Fat systems can be converted to NTFS systems, sometimes we need to install both Windows 98 and Windows 2000/XP in the machine. This is the trouble, because Windows 98 can't read NTFS for Windows 2000, so how do you exchange data? In fact, we just need to use a little software NTFS for Windows 98 to make Windows 98 easy to read and even write to NTFS partitions. First, go to the download URL of the tool http://down.hothost.com/list.sap?id=514 download NTFS for Windows 98 1.07 Edition (can read, write!). After decompression, please put CR entire directory (inside 7 read NTFS file system must use to Windows 2000/XP system files, the other 3 are annotation files) copy to C disk (also can be renamed as Ntfs_files, I changed), after the installation will appear a configuration interface , in the "NTFS System Files" item in this interface, you need to set the file save path of the Windows 2000/XP system that the program can borrow, and you will select the CR directory that you just copy to the disk, and then nothing else will be done, and this setting is complete. Click the OK button to save the settings and exit. After restarting, you can access the NTFS partitions under Windows 98! After actual use, it is proved that the software can be read and written on the NTFS partition after installation.

The above content I in Win98se+winxp_procn+winxp_proen and Winme+winxp_procn+winxp_proen verify through! (2 machines)

The following content is for reference only, I suggest you do not implement, at least I did so.

The setting that is provided in [Drive letter Assignments] is to set the allowed NTFS partition disk characters that can be recognized, depending on the order of the letter in the Windows 2000/XP. If you click the Advanced button in the interface, an advanced setting for NTFS partitions is provided in the association interface, including setting to read-only property "Read-only" and allowing write "Write-through". For checkpoint interval "Checkpoint Interval" and write back Interval "writeback nterval", use the default settings provided by the program. ]

9. How to read and write directly to the NTFS file system under DOS system?

Winternals Software LP has provided tool software to solve this problem. With an MS-DOS boot disk, you can do things that were not possible before, modify, delete, update files on NTFS, and actual Ntfsdos Pro is a repair tool when problems arise with Windows NT. Download page HTTP://SOFT.WINZHENG.COM/SEARCHENGINE.SAP, type "NTFS" to find the station software, you can find Ntfsdos PRO 4.0, it is best to choose the server 2 download. The specific installation process is not complex, according to the prompts to do the startup disk.

10, under the NTFS system, how to protect their own files, folders?

Because the NTFS file partitioning format is well secured, it is an effective way to encrypt using the rights control method if you do not want the files on your hard disk to be called or viewed by someone else. The Setup method is simple: Log on as a system administrator, right-click the folder you want to encrypt, select Properties, and switch to the Security tab. The user who is allowed to access in the "Group of user names" item is only the administrator and himself. Deletes all other users. Save settings to exit. After that, other users will not be able to access the folder. To use this feature, it is important to ensure that you are the only person who knows the password of the administrator and that other users cannot belong to the administrator. In addition, you can also give each user a detailed set of permissions, including set Read permissions, write permissions, delete permissions, etc., so that the use of more flexible. You can also set permissions, control a disk, or disk partitions only for your own use, so that no one else can see anything of yours.
