      Hey guys, can I know what's the difference between these two? My msn file sharing is disabled, so I tried troubleshooting and found out it's because my system is FAT.

      I tried converting it from FAT to NTFS but there was one step which is:

      The type of the file system is FAT32.
      Enter the current volume label for drive C:

      What does this means? And what is the thing which I must key in to continue? Thanks in advance!

      Another question: is it recommended that I convert all my drives to NTFS? Currently only my D drive is and my C and E are FAT32.

      To share files in MSN, using NTFS or not doesn't matter.

      As for the label...

      Start > Run and enter in cmd.exe

      In Command Prompt, enter in dir

      You will see...

       Volume in drive C has no label.

      That's your answer. Most of us doesn't use a label by default.

      NTFS is more robust tht FAT/FAT32.U can use the con command form DOS for tht.

       

      if u dnt know wht u r dng,well be careful.

      Enter the current volume label for drive C:

       

      Just type in whatever name you prefer for your C:

      Like "SuperDuckwin's Castle, Mighty Dragonball Vault or Michael Disk1"
