FORMATE & CONVERT WITH NTFS..

From CMS Diary...

NTFS is the recommended file system for windows XP. it gives better access control protection for files and folder as compared to the FAT family of file systems. NTFS enables you to specify which users of user groups hae access to which files and folders on your computer. You can also determine what the permission level for each user and user group should be. user permission can be set to full control, change, ( cannot delete) or read only.  It also gives better performance on hard disks that are larger than 32GB in size.
To get a quick overview of the file system on your computer. Right click My computer and select Manage. Click on Disk Management in the left pane under the storage section of the tree. The graphical view will show you all your hard disk and partitions, along with the system they're currently formatted with.

If you have any FAT or FAT32 partition, these can be converted to NTFS using converter.exe command line utility. To convert a partition to NTFS, open a command line utility. To "convert drive-letter: /fs:ntfs" (without the quotes ) to convert "drive-letter" to NTFS. for example , if you want to convert drive f to NTFS, you would type in "convert f:/fs:ntfs".
