Understanding NTFS - Windows XP

[SeanYves09]

veryy nice video, I am doing my home works lool

[Radenska512]

NTFS is NoT For Sale!

[ROME524]

can someone tell me, if i make a back up in a fat32 enviorment and it be restored in Ntfs system. window xp?

[CabbageNappa]

So why can't the admin just open it regardless of permissions?

[faxmanloveswaffles]

New Technology FRAGMENT System :P

@ichiman14 thanks man, problem was fixed. i was just downloading a 5 gig file that would get and error message about invalaid file size for filesytem. the problem was i was just downloading it to an external hard drive which was fat32

[BigBobsh2o]

Thank you this was enlightening.

[kiev786]

Nice video. Thanks.

[footballhokie]

So i have window 7. what file system come default with it? and is it easy to chage?

[StuckInADitch]

@footballhokie You start with NTFS

[CabbageNappa]

@footballhokie NTFS and FAT. I think it's possible to mount some Unix filesystems as read-only with 3rd party software, but you couldn't use them as a replacement.

[footballhokie]

@CabbageNappa thanks. i had the problem related to this earlier but it has since been resolved.

NTFS: It's better than bad, it's good

[andjack]

@drakesolar No, it's only ok.

It was good when it first arrived, comming in pair with other OS:es file systems as JFS and XFS (IBM:s and SGI:s) with basic capabilities like users and groups of users, ACL for file access control, disk quota, compression, no need for defragmentation etc.

But it is not that good compared to other more modern file systems, like ZFS and BTRFS etc. (or journaling file systems on LVM2 on RAID5 in linux)

So please search "File Systems" and "Comparison" on Wikipedia.

@andjack

what rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs, and over your neighbors dog, it fits on your back, its great for a snack, LOG LOG LOG! ...

[bodioto]

i have a question, if i were using bootcamp on a mac and i partioned 31 gigs for windows it would be NTFS or FAT32?

[andjack]

@bodioto You should never use FAT if you can use some better file system, like NTFS.

Only legitim use of FAT, what I can come up with, is when using disks to move data between different OS systems. But then you are prob. better to use some net file system.

[gameyguy123]

This is a very clear and simple video! 5/5

[droXz]

finaly a movie that's making something clear!

[PillowcaseHead]

Could the MFT be read to 'recover' files or at least point to where on the harddrive that even deleted or erased files might reside?

Seems like a data security issue there, especially if one only deletes, or erases the file on disk, does the MFT keep track of all this?

[schmidtbag]

ntfs sucks. even linux's ext2 filesystem (which is old, theres an ext4 now) is better than ntfs and its free. it automatically defragments, and the os itself takes care of features like encryption, compression, and privileges which prevents it from becoming obsolete, because the programs will upgrade as the filesystem can remain in tact

[gameyguy123]

NTFS has some of those features

Plus Windows doesn't support ext2

[schmidtbag]

thats exactly my point tho, windows is restricted to only microsoft filesystems and they don't have the features that add performance. i forgot to mention that linux and mac filesystems are also faster than ntfs and they support journaling, which helps prevent data loss

[gameyguy123]

Well, so? Stop bragging about Linux and Mac -_-'

[jwd0808]

Also an added benefit of NTFS over FAT32 is the ability to create files larger than 4GB. This is especially handy when doing video editing.

[polarbear60]

I weigh a lot, so I like NTFS vs. FAT LOL

[XDyingAgainX]

@jwd0808 how can I use that benefit?

[DazhFX]

@jwd0808

Not only creating but copying large files which are larger than 4GB

[mewanafly]

i was playing games when the system changed it self from fat32 to ntfs(somehow, both C nad D drive have been changed), now i have no idea how to change it back to fat32. and now everytime i click C or D drive it say AUTO instead of OPEN, everything works normally but i still want fat32. so plz help me. i heard that i must format my drive to change back, is there any way that i can change back without formating? pease help me

[bendyline29]

You MUST reformat. There is no way to convert back to FAT32. NTFS is a better file system anyways so you might as well leave it alone.

[Flybyhacker]

hemm

exFAT????

[AndrewFaulds]

exfat is just fat but supporting larger drives. its for memory sticks only

[engdahlb]

i got a problem with uTorrent..i can't download files over 4gb..and i get a message about something with ntfs filesystem...how can i change it? reply back fast please..thx

[pacccv]

convert your hDD and it will fix!!!

[stevezoalive]

Thank you very very much for this easy and interesting explanation !!!

[juliusbaggins]

thanks

[XxChaZx2oo9xX]

how do i use it :@

[easymac79]

intresting.. so if youtubes hdd is ntfs, and you upload a vid, even though you are owner, they can take ownership of your video? since they have the administrator account for their hdd? this is kind of a bad example, but how bout this: i create a file, and say that the admin cant see it. The admin goes in and says oop! i want to see it.. click. now they can see it? that seems stupid... and then the admin could say that i cant even see it? that isnt really fair. That why i like hidden folders lol

[jupiter1716]

Think as the Administrator as an almighty person that can do whatever it wants on a computer. It'll be able to change the permissions (read/write) or attributes (compressed, hidden, etc.). But you'll still be able to see the hidden folders (as they're an attribute) if you have access to its parent; but there's no guarantee you'll be able to access those hidden folders.

[omid11]

Very interesting. Thanks for the upload.

[Flybyhacker]

very knowladge STUFF about PC

i dont know NTFS stand for

now i know

[arcticpenguin2350]

You creator of video are partially correct

1.The second copies of the master file table is only the first 16 records of the MFT call MFT2.

Maybe you should research NTFS more and make a new video about how NTFS recovers on a crash using its $logfile (journal), and how folders and metadata is sturcuted into B+ trees.

[krazyliljoo]

Why dont we watch this stuff in school, instead of hearing a 50 year old guy teach us how to make hello world in visual basic? and somehow it takes him like 2 months to teach us???

[Romario2007]

Very interessting. What about the performance? We have seen the new feauters. Hoever is NTFS faster than fat32?

[jakeharvey]

It is slower but on modern machines the difference diminishes.

[Romario2007]

I am not sure.

[darthirakli]

It depends. I've personally seen a lot of scenarios where NTFS was faster than FAT32, but I've also seen quite a few cases where FAT32 was the winner in terms of performance. There are just too many unknowns that may influence performance, including how disk was formatter, file layout, etc. For example, putting MFT (Master File Table) approximately 1/3 into the disk on NTFS volumes delivers 10-15% performance improvement over the situation in which MFT is located in the beginning of a disk.

[yuna238]

darthraki: The problem between those two is file space. FAT32 only allows maximum of 4GB file storage, today 4GB is nothing with most programs like games and other graphical stuff averages to 8Gb. NTFS allows much more file storage space and is winner. NTFS and FAT32 speed differs only a little not much impact compared to file space restrictions.

[kleanchap]

Good presentation

[pickyantivirus]

nice job...

[Vantria1]

Great, I love it.

[angrd020]

Great stuff

[kleanchap]

Very educational. Great job!
