## Chapter 5: Working with Different File Systems

Like UNIX file systems, the Microsoft® Windows NT® file system (NTFS) contains features for performance, security, and fault tolerance. It also provides a reasonable namespace and supports large files and volumes. Windows NT can also use the file allocation table (FAT) file system. This enables compatibility with previous Windows operating systems, but provides no file system security.
