Re: Do HD Partitions Provide Any Security Benefits?

In article <49BFAED4.5F64A7AF@xxxxxxx>, Virus@xxxxxxx says...
On the other hand, wou would benefit more by formatting a drive as FAT32
instead of NTFS (XP can be installed on a fat32 volume, don't know about
vista). From a malware detection and correction / diagnostic / repair
point of view, it's easier to work with FAT32 vs NTFS. The downside is
that your max file size would be "limited" to 4 gb.


And it's not as reliable, and it's not as secure.
