Comparison of FAT, FAT32, and NTFS file systems
Windows® 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 allow you to choosebetween NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 file systems. IBM® iSeries™ Integration for Windows Serverinstalls your system drives using an appropriate file system that dependson the hardware resource capabilities, Windows version and intended use. Theinstallation command gives you the option of converting FAT or FAT32 drivesto NTFS. In some cases, the conversion to NTFS is automatically performedbased on the intended use of the server (for example, a domain role of *DMNCTL).
Note:Do not convert the D driveto NTFS. It must remain FAT.You do have the option of converting the C drive. Here are some comparisonsthat might help you decide:
