FILE SYSTEMS - NTFS �File and folder security: in Windows XP Professional, NTFS allows precise control over which users can access applications and data via NTFS file permissions. Windows XP Home only offers simple file sharing. �Increased performance: NTFS uses a more efficient mechanism for locating and retrieving information from the hard disk than FAT or FAT 32. �Disk quotas: In Windows XP Professional, NTFS let's you control the amount of disk space each user can have. Windows XP Home does not support disk quotas.
FILE SYSTEMS - NTFS �Disk compression: NTFS can compress files to increase the amount of disk space available. Windows XP Home does not support disk compression. �File encryption: In Windows XP Professional, NTFS allows data stored on the hard disk to be encrypted. Windows XP Home does not support file encryption.
FILE SYSTEMS - FAT �If you use FAT to format a partition during Windows XP Setup, Windows uses FAT for partitions that are smaller than 2 GB and FAT 32 for partitions that are larger than 2 GB. �Windows XP Setup cannot create a FAT 32 partition that is smaller than 2 GB, nor can it create a FAT 32 partition that is larger than 32 GB.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS �The install of an operating system has four main phases: �Setup copies the installation file. �Text Phase. �Graphical user interface (GUI) mode setup phase. �Network setup phase.
