FAT32 vs NTFS, Overwritting a Deleted File
Hi,
I know about FAT32, but I know little about NTFS. Assuming both hard drives are not "fragmented". If a large (200MB) file is deleted, is it more likely to be overwritten (space it occupied on the hard disk is overwritten) on a FAT32 hard disk compared to a NTFS? Thank You in Advance, John PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

The space will be overwritten when the file system needs it for another file. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt

It's more a function of the OS and how it prefers to re-use previously allocated clusters. Win-9x/me prefers to use "new" clusters (clusters that have never before been allocated to a file) because it's faster. NT-based OS's will re-use clusters belonging to deleted files pretty much immediately after deletion if the next file being written or created is the same size (or smaller) than the deleted file.
