Install Windows Xp Ntfs Or Fat32
ExFAT is a superior storage device format for solid state devices. I'vebenchmarked the I/O performance with Diskmark 3.0.1. In order to benchmarkthe data integrity I installed exFAT on a BartPE USB drive and used one ofBart's tools. ExFAT was able to restore the data integrity of a firstgeneration Intel SSD that had become unreliable with all other formats.I thought that installing Win 7 on an exFAT SSD partition would be easy butI was wrong.
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit Dual Boot with Windows XP Professional 12 posts thanks for your views. May i also know, if ntfs decreases the life span of pendrives? I just formatted it to ntfs. There is no change of write speed. Should i keep it, or go back to default fat32?
Win7 wants to format in FAT32 or NTFS. I have downloaded exFATsupport for WinXP but I have been unable to install WinXP on an exFATpartition. The Win7 Enterprise install DVD I have is a 90 day evaluation ISOI downloaded from Microsoft. I have legitimate volume licensing productkeys. Like Vista, the Win7 Enterprise install DVD permits the loading ofdevice drivers that it will browse for. I expected find an exFAT devicedriver on the Win7 DVD but I could not find one using 'exFAT' as a searchterm.Can anyone provide advice on how to install Win7 on an exFAT SSD partition?Thanks in advance.Bill in Co13.08.12 21:02.

I thought that installing Win 7 on an exFAT SSD partition would be easy but I was wrong. Win7 wants to format in FAT32 or NTFS.But I would assume that choice would NOT be for installing the Win7 OSitself into such a partition, given the direction Microsoft has been going.In fact, I would be surprised if Win7 even allowed you to install Windows(the OS) directly into anything but NTFS.
Am I wrong there?I mean, starting with WinXP, it seems to me that the option to allow WinXPto be installed into FAT32 was only 'reluctantly' added. And I thought eventhat was dropped with Vista and later OS's. Which would suggest anythingFAT related went out the window.

Thanks in advance.It will be interesting to hear if there if it is even possible.
I justdoubt if Microsoft would have supported this though, considering what Iwrote above, and the direction of things - starting way back with WinXP,where even installing the WinXP OS into a FAT32 partition was reallydiscouraged by Microsoft. But I could be missing something.Uwe Sieber14.08.12 03:59. 'Uwe Sieber' wrote in message news:a8uu1dFjupU1@mid.individual.net.
Labeling all the Japanese soldiers as people who tortured POWS would be like saying all American soldiers in Vietnam killed and rape innocent Vietnamese. Or all American soldiers in Cuba tortured POWS from the wars in the Middle East. You can't group people together like that. Letters from iwo jima full movie english.
Since Vista NTFS is mandatory for the system partition because the operating system uses hard- and symbolic links. Both are NTFS specific.No not right, for Since NTFS you can have NTFS or FAT32.for I have Vista FAT32 and a win7 FAT32,for at install it will ask if you like a NTFS or FAT32 partition. Early in the boot process some files must be located before the file system drivers are loaded. This is part of the XP NTLDR which can do this with FAT, FAT32 and NTFS only.True and 100% right here.Hot-Text14.08.12 09:18.

Files are linked into the windows folderfrom the store.The missing features are documented here, for exFAT. It doesn't doeverything that NTFS does. In terms of 'tick boxes', exFAT bears moreof a resemblance to FAT than NTFS.You could still have exFAT as a data partition, in the same wayas you could have FAT32 as a data partition on Windows 7. Windows 7still needs to be able to access data from older computers.PaulBill in Co14.08.12 11:49.

UweFascinating to hear the explanation.I didn't even know that some files even could be located before file systemdrivers are loaded, and now wonder how that even works.Hot-Text14.08.12 11:22.

The most popular example of the problem isthat since Vista the 'C:Documents and Settings' folder isin fact a directory junction point which leads to C:Users.How does this work without NTFS? No 'C:Documents and Settings'for compatibility with badly designed software at all?Furthermore without NTFS there are no access rights, so allthe new UAC security stuff has no effect on files.UweHot-Text15.08.12 06:50. What relevance has the name of the Windows folder? and as for Documents and Settings, I have it on WinME too, and it's not a NTFS but a FAT32.Sure, but again that is not the point. Since Vista theuser profiles are stored in the C:Users folder.'
C:Documents and Settings' is here not a real folder,it is a reparse point which leads to C:Users.FAT32 has no support for reparse points, so the interesingthing here is, what do you have on your FAT32 installedVista and Win7. C:Users must be there because it containsthe user profiles. 'C:Documents and Settings' should bethere for compatibility with badly designed software whichuse this path hard coded. Since FAT32 does not supportreparse points, it cannot be one, therefore it is interestingif it is there on your FAT32 installed Vista and Win7.UweYousuf Khan18.08.12 09:06.

Starting with Windows 2000, the systemdirectory has been named Windows rather than Winnt, no matter whichfilesystem you chose to install it on. The naming of the systemdirectory is not dependent on the filesystem choice. and as for Documents and Settings, I have it on WinME too, and it's not a NTFS but a FAT32.Look, you're extremely confused, several people have already told youthat hard and soft symbolic links are required to be used, starting withWindows Vista, but you keep harping on partition table entries which iscompletely irrelevant here. Symbolic links have been around sinceWindows 2000, but rarely used.
Symbolic links are multiple aliases to afile or a folder which point to the same entity without physicallyduplicating it.

The naming of the system directory is not dependent on the filesystem choice. On the Day I made it FAT32, I name it WINDOWS not Winnt that how, we have a choice on filesystem, and directory name it windows always did.The default system folder name of the all Windows NT-based productsstarting with Windows 2000 was 'Windows'. You could also name it to'Winnt' if you liked, or even 'Timbuktu', but the default has been'Windows'. This name never changes whether you created it with NTFS orFAT from the beginning, the default name still remained 'Windows'. and as for Documents and Settings, I have it on WinME too, and it's not a NTFS but a FAT32.

Symbolic links are not required for Fat32, in Fat32 you Restart your Computer so a new user can login, it uses the Documents and Settings for the user same as a Symbolic links do, But in a NTFS you need not Restart your Computer so a new user can login, That why Symbolic links is required for NTFS.You have a lot of funny ideas about how Windows works. Windows does notneed to be restarted to login to a different username, even if it wasrunning under FAT rather than NTFS.Read this article about what symbolic links are again, so you canunderstand what they do: NTFS symbolic link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yousuf KhanYousuf Khan.
