Shamus_McFartfinger Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Are you using NTFS or FAT32? Proper separation of user accounts and software cannot be done with FAT32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathater Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 ntfs of course--allows file bigger then a number I can't remember- which fat32 couldn't something I learned from the wonderful folks that are hanging around this site years ago (horseshit ok but we need a kiss ass emotion!) and in case I forget, I want you all to have a wonderful CHRISTMAS even if your not christian "God bless us all" tiny tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 If you're willing to commit to NTFS, open a DOS prompt (Start/accessories/command prompt and not Start/RUN) and type the following: convert c: /fs:ntfs Be aware that you can't convert ntfs back to fat32 without a serious amount of fcuking about. It's pretty much a one way process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 FAT32 (because it's so insecure) is easier to salvage files from if the drive/software goes pear-shaped. You can boot off a floppy and move or copy files wherever you like. NTFS doesn't allow you to do this. If you run NTFS and something goes south, it's harder to retrieve your files.... but that's what backups are for. You can't do user management without ntfs.
