  NTFS vs FAT??

  Posted by Frank Weber on July 7, 2006 at 10:32 am

  My PC’s drives keep getting corrupted with AE7. I’ve tested my RAM and there are no errors. I’m starting to think that maybe the problem lies with my drives being – NTFS format and not FAT. I have to De-Frag on the hour or crash.

  Please help.

  I have 2 gig RAM, Dual Processor- Intel Zeon.

  nope. NTFS is the way to go. Your issue is not tied to that.

  Thanks.
  I spoke to my Tech guy and he said the same thing.
  Can you recomend something though?

  The big problem with Fat is its 2 GB file size limit. I would start with a fresh install of AE.

  Other things to check for would be the drive cable, you could even use the manufacturer’ s drive diagnostic software to check things out. If this is a new issue and none of these solve it, you may have to do a clean system install.
