<p><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Windows® 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 allow you to choose
|
|
between NTFS and FAT32 file systems. IBM® i5/OS™ Integrated Server Support installs your
|
|
system drives using an appropriate file system that depends on the hardware
|
|
resource capabilities, Windows version and intended use. The installation
|
|
command converts FAT32 drives to NTFS unless CVTNTFS(*NO) is specified.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
