NTFS and automatic disk checks?

GTwannabe

Back in the days when I used FAT32, if Win2k would bluescreen and crash, it would automatically schedule a disk check. With NTFS, it never does a startup disk check. Is there any way to force the system to do disk checks if it isn't shutdown properly? I ask because if I startup with a dirty disk, the system hangs f ...

Booting 2K with Numlock ?

marek94

Hi, I think I'm not the only one in the world who is wondering how to tell Win 2000 to toggle on NumLock. Everytime Win 2K boots up it turnos off the Numlock status. However I'd like to have it turned on so that it doesn't need to be done manually each time you boot up and log-on.

which file system is more efficient for windows, NTFS or FAT

shassouneh

Hi all, just wondering. APART FROM ADVANCD SECURITY AND INDEXING FEATURES avilable in NTFS, is NTFS a better file system than FAT32 in terms of stability, and / or speed ? Is NTFS or FAT32 more efficient? I have noticed that NTFS seems to be less prone to corruption in files and directories as FAT 12/16/32 (vfat) is.
