Martint Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 So..I'm making a Partition just for most of my data files.Like my music, and movies, and Programs, etc... NO OS will be installed on this partition.So...which file system should I choose when making this partition?NTFS?Fat32?ReiserFS? Don't know much about it...but heard the guy that found it is in jail. Ouch...Right now, I'm dual booting with vista 32bit & vista 64bit (don't ask....just blame it on drivers).I plan to use Linux in the future and I want too access my music and videos from the partition on the linux OS?

rhema7 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Fat 32 has a file size limit of 4gig so if you plan to achive video (a DVD is ove 4gig) go with NTFS. NTFS also offers better securityReiserFS if a linux file system windows would not see it but many Linux flavors can read and write ntfs and definitely FAT32.Prestonhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/s..._october01.mspx Edited May 9, 2008 by rhema7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
