My Win XP blew out and fat32 data was inaccesible as the OS would not boot. I saved all teh data in ntfs and used linux to access (copy) data and save it on linux partition, reformated my disk and we were fine. my question : is ntfs more secure than fat32 ? In the event of a crash what other options do we have to retrieve data.? thanks, MR
NTFS is more rebust than FAT and recovers better from crashes.
If you have a screwed up FAT32 partition you'd be best off using a Windows disk repair tool to try to fix it.
