I was building a new machine for a custmer today and they
wanted XP installed. I formatted the drive ahead of time with
fat32, then XP only offered to format NTFS or leave the
partition alone. So I want anyone's opinion on this.
I heard that NTFS is newer than that used in NT and has
performance modifications. Does anyone know the benefits of
using NTFS with XP home on a typical users machine? Or is
fat32 still better? Do the security advances outweigh being
able to boot off a floppy and recover data?
