Supported File Systems (Windows Only)
Your operating system supports three types of file systems:
 | |
Two types of the File Allocation Table (FAT): FATá16 and FATá32.
FATá16 is primarily used when backward compatibility is needed on
operating systems such as MS-DOS or other versions of Windows. The
new FATá32 file system is no longer limited to a 2-GB partition size.
Avid supports the FATá32 file system.
|
| |
The New Technology File System (NTFS). NTFS affords the user
security, compression, and other file recovery features. Drives
employing NTFS support partitions of any size. Avid supports the
NTFS file system.
|
When you partition your drives, Avid recommends:
| |
Selecting NTFS from the pop-up menu when you partition your disk
drives for use on desktop computers
|
| |
Selecting FAT 32 from the pop-up menu when you partition your disk
drives for use on laptop computers
|
 |
|
One of your internal disk drives (normally designated drive C) has a
partition that contains the operating system. This drive might be
labeled System or Boot. You should not reformat this partition unless
you need to rebuild your system disk drive.
