What era is this? Still discussing Windows 98. Windows 98 was indeed an excellent operating system, but that was from the last century. I really can't believe there are still so many old-timers idolizing it. Some advanced programs simply can't run on the Windows 98 platform. Its stubborn crashes often make my efforts in vain! Friend, if the programs you run are large or important, please don't choose Windows 9X.

What era is this? Still discussing the FAT file system. Its performance and security are really not to be praised. Friend, if you want to save important data on a PC, it's best not to use this low-level file system.

Friend!!! Please don't tie your precious time to the past. Spend more time facing the present!

Use an operating system like Windows XP or a newer one!

Format disks to NTFS or a better file system!

Why put so many exclamation marks? Those who use it have their own reasons for using it, and those who don't use it have their own reasons for not using it, and both will reap what they sow. There is no need to influence others with your own views, and you can't say that what you don't understand is wrong!

Hehe, just a user

If you have a computer with a P166 32M memory and only a small hard drive less than 1G, you will say: Ah! How happy it is to be able to use Win98!

Many software can only run under Windows 98

Why not use 98? Actually, WinXP is a new version of OS/2.

The person who posted this seems really not an ordinary person.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm someone who is fond of the new and tired of the old. Of course, I have no right to interfere with what everyone wants to use. I just hope everyone can discuss the issues to the forefront. Because so far, there are very few topics about the NTFS format. To be honest, it is indeed superior to the FAT format. For example, its algorithm is superior, the user permission allocation is good, and there is no need to defragment the disk, etc.
Now I have switched to the WINDOWS SERVER 2003 operating system, and the disk is all formatted to NTFS. I feel that the manageability and stability of the system are both incomparable to 98. Especially when running large 3D software such as MAYA, PRO/E2001, etc., it is quite stable. PRO/E 2001 even prevents you from installing it under the FAT format! Currently, some high-end software no longer supports 98. Of course, if you only use the computer to run some low-version software, you can still use 98.
The machine configuration is not an issue. The important thing is that our topics should follow the times. If I were to go back to the past, I really can't believe what meaning the computer would have for me.
The above are purely personal opinions. Friends who oppose it, don't be angry after reading it. Sins, sins.

Some people say it's good to drive a Mercedes-Benz, and that's true, but there will still be people who say I just like my little truck!

NTFS is otherwise good, but compatibility is not good. Most systems now support FAT32 (for example, MS-DOS 7.10, ROM-DOS 7.10, PC-DOS 7.10, RxDOS 6.2, PTS-DOS Pro 2000, DR-DOS 7.05, REAL/32 DOS 7.9x, FreeDOS, and even Linux, of course, including WinNT/2K/XP+), but systems that support NTFS are only a very small number.

Everyone has their own needs, and it can't be said that who is not good.
"For the operating system, just use XP or higher!!
For disk format, just format it into NTFS or better!!"
This sentence is too dogmatic.

Well, I agree with the opinion of the person above. I think it mainly depends on what your computer is used for, what software you use, and the configuration of the computer to decide which operating system to use.

I think using Linux is also good.

If you use a MMX 200 machine to run Windows XP, see if you want to jump off a building! Who knows that XP is good, but it requires hardware support first, fake.

If you change the theme of this post to "Discussion on the Advantages and Disadvantages of NTFS and FAT Formats", it will definitely be very popular!
