what is the difference between a FAT and an NFTS volume?

In short: NTFS supports larger harddisks then FATand has better protection against errors.\n\nLong: \n"FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS are two methods for storing data on a hard drive. The hard drive has to either be formatted using one or the other, or can be converted from one to the other (usually FAT to NTFS) using a system tool.\n\nFAT is basically the same file system that has been used on PCs since the early DOS days, with a number of modifications made to allow it to work with larger hard drives. NTFS was originally developed to work in Windows NT, to support large hard drives from the get-go (up to 16 billion gigabytes per volume!) and to guard against the kinds of errors that routinely wreck FAT volumes. NTFS is just the better choice overall at this point and most computers running Windows are running a version of Windows that can handle it (i.e., Windows 2000 or XP). "

FAT (FAT16 and FAT32) and NTFS are two methods for storing data on a hard drive. \n\nThe hard drive has to either be formatted using one or the other, or can be converted from one to the other (usually FAT to NTFS) using a system tool. \n\nWHAT IS FAT?\n\nFAT is basically the same file system that has been used on PCs since the early DOS days, with a number of modifications made to allow it to work with larger hard drives. \n\nWHAT IS NTFS?\n\nNTFS was originally developed to work in Windows NT, to support large hard drives from the get-go (up to 16 billion gigabytes per volume!) and to guard against the kinds of errors that routinely wreck FAT volumes. NTFS allows you to use larger drives, secure directories and files against unauthorized users, has better data-protection technologies, and doesn't succumb to errors or fragmentation as easily as FAT/FAT32. \n\nWhat I Recommend...\n\nNTFS is a better choice overall at this point and most computers running Windows are running a version of Windows that can handle it (i.e. Windows NT or 2000 or XP or 2003). \n\nIf you're using one of the above OS, the best bet is to format or convert all drives in your system to NTFS. \n\nNTFS has slightly better management of free space to keep fragmentation from becoming as pronounced too soon. \n\n\nTIP:\nThe only time you should bother with FAT32 on a Windows 2000 system is if you are dual-booting between Windows 2000 and Windows 98/Me, or otherwise sharing a hard drive with a system that cannot read NTFS.

The thing is that a cis touble bond (the kind where the two carbons are on the same side of the bond) creates a sort of a kink in the carbon chain. In saturated fats, there are no double bonds, so the carbon chain is more or less a straight line, but in unsaturated fats, the carbon chain is bent in one or more location. The straight molecules of the saturated fat can pile up into stacks with all the molecules lined up parallel to each other. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, can't do this. Think about a bendy straw. In the box, they can be packed together into a tight solid, but as soon as you bend the part at the top they can't be packed together nearly as neatly or closely.\n\nSaturated fats are less healthy not because they can't be broken down as easily, but because they are better able to form a tightly packed solids, so they tend to have higher melting points, and are therefore more likely to form solid masses in your arteries and elsewhere. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquids, so they don't clog things up as much.\n\nIncidentally, in trans fats, the carbon atoms around the double bond are arranged across from each other so that the carbon chain is straight, like in saturated fats, so they behave similarly to saturated fats, which is why they are so much worse for you than naturally occuring unsaturated fats.

When they say muscle weighs more than fat, they are referring to its density. Muscle is denser, and therefore it takes less of it to reach the same weight as an amount of fat

It allows you to separate data into different segments for different things...\n\nFor instance, lets say I have a hard disk of 100 Gigabytes. I can partition that drive into three different pieces (assuming I use NTFS)\n\n1) First  partition is 50GB and will be my drive C:\n2) Second partition is 25GB and will be drive G:\n3) Third partition is just under 25GB (because of structure it never is the full 100 GB) and will be my drive H:\n\nThe first partition I can install a windows operating system on. The second partition (Drive G:) I will put on Linux operating system. The last paritition (Drive H) I will use strictly for games and music. So now my system is a dual boot system (I can run windows or Linux) as well as have a drive dedicated to my entertainment.\n\nParitition just allows you to break up the data into logical sections so that they are seen as different hard disks and treated differently. If you are using the FAT32 file system, you will be forced to parition bigger drives because FAT32 doesn't support bigger gigabyte hard disks.\n\nI hope this clarifies it for you. I have included a link below to Wikipedia that talks a bit more in depth about what you can do with partitions. Enjoy!

A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle, it's just that the muscle is more dense than fat, so it takes up less space than fat.

If you drive is formatted using FAT16 the drive can store 512 files in a root folder, when 512 files are in the root the drive is "full". A FAT12 drive can store 224 files in the root folder before being "full". Both FAT32 and NTFS file systems have no limit on the number of files in the root folder, however there are file number limits, in other words you can have space left but have the maximum number of files that teh file system type can track. \n\nQuestions to ask to figure this out include:\nOverall hard drive size as labeled by manufacturer.\nPartitioning scheme.\nFile system type.\nTotal number of files on the drive.\n\nFrank

..also they're measured in different units.\nVolume is measured in cubic units (m^3, ft^3 etc), whereas  weight is measured in units of Force (Newtons, or foot pounds)\n\nYour volume is fixed (unless you have a large dinner) whereas your weight varies depending on your altitude. You actually weight less at the top of Everest than you do at sea level.\n\nIt should also be noted that weight and mass are different.

The disk space it saves is negligable.\n\nHowever, it makes your files more secure than the old fat system.

steller phonics FAT and NTFS

FAT stands for File Allocation Table, and it dates way back to DOS days, when the operating system fit on a single 360k floppy. Beginning with Windows 95 SR-2, FAT was upgraded from 16 bit to 32 bit, and so when we refer to FAT, we are actually talking (these days) about FAT32, not FAT16. FAT32 overcame some of the inherent limitations of FAT16 disk and volume sizes, as well as directory entry restrictions, long filename restrictions, and large cluster sizes, which wasted large amounts of disk space when storing small files. FAT32 volumes, in theory, can range in size from less than 1 MB up to 2 TB (TeraBytes). However, when used with Windows XP/2000, the maximum size of a volume is 32 GB. Also, the maximum individual file size is 4 GB. FAT32 is the native file system of Windows 98 and Windows ME, although it is supported by Windows XP/2000.

That's like asking which guy is smarter USA or California - absolute nonsense!\n\nTFT is a kind of LCD technology. Neither TFT nor LCD specify a  screen resolution - that is a characteristic of a specific monitor model.

FAT, NTFS partition are vulnerable to fragmentation so that's why you need to defragment them once in a while. MAC on the other side is using Unix type partition, extf2,3 compatible. These type are not vulnerable to fragmentation! A defragmentation process is "prebuilt" in the filesystem in this case.
