If you are running the FAT file system, which is not a secured file system, you should consider converting to the NTFS file system.
Secured file systems, such as NTFS, are a key component of security, because they restrict user access to data. By using file system security, you can specify which users are allowed to access individual files and what type of access they are allowed (for example, read or modify). NTFS protects your data by preventing unwanted user access to it.
Note
Convert your system from FAT to NTFS. For more information, view the documentation below on using NTFS and how to convert drives to NTFS.
