NT FILE SYSTEM (ntfs)
Windows NT
Win2K is based on the same file system called as NTFS as of NT. But Win2K can also be set up using FAT32 file system a predecessor of NTFS. NTFS allows us to use long file names and is much faster than FAT32 file system.
NTFS (New Technology File System)
NT file system (NTFS)
Short for New technology File System, one of the file system for the Windows NT operating system (Windows NT also supports the FAT file system). NTFS has features to improve reliability, such as transaction logs to help recover from disk failures. To control access to files, you can set permissions for directories and/or individual files. NTFS files are not accessible from other operating systems such as DOS.
While the NT File System (NTFS) is better than the FAT16 system, it does have some disadvantages. NTFS has a high space overhead that cannot be used to store data.
FAT (file allocation table) and NTFS (Windows NT file system).
NTFS
Pretty much any Windows system built around NT: Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8. Also, Linux has two NTFS filesystem drivers giving it support for NTFS.
NTFS, or New technology file system is a proprietary file system created by Microsoft first for windows NT. It is not an open file system like ext3 for example and Microsoft will not release the standards for it making it hard for other OS's to mount NTFS file systems. Note I said hard, not impossible. People have reverse engineered much of the NTFS system and it is possible to mount it with the correct tools in other OS's. But the best way to describe it is a Microsoft proprietary file system.
