Chapter 4: Microsoft Windows 2000 File Systems



Chapter 4   Microsoft Windows 2000 File Systems

About This Chapter

Windows 2000 supports the NT File System (NTFS) and two file allocation table (FAT) file systems, FAT16 and FAT32, for read and write data storage. Read-only support is provided by the CD-ROM File System (CDFS) and the Universal Disk Format (UDF). This chapter focuses on the Windows 2000 writable file systems.

The way volumes are structured and files are organized in NTFS is significantly different from FAT. NTFS version 5.0, the version of NTFS used by Windows 2000, includes several features that support the new functionality within Windows 2000, functionality that is not supported by FAT and only partially supported by NTFS in Windows NT 4.0. This chapter introduces you to the basics of disk management and then goes on to describe FAT and NTFS. The chapter also discusses file and folder security and how it is implemented in a FAT and NTFS environment.
