Windows and Fedora will read/write NTFS. It's a journaled file system so it's a bit safer to use than FAT32 (in particular the journal obviates most repairs in case of a crash, so it's usually not necessary to fsck the disk). And also FAT32 has a 2GB file size limitation which can be a problem. He already said he's using NTFS but he's having problems with it. The problems may not be related to the filesystem of course. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
