NTFS
NTFS is an abbreviation for Windows NT File
System or is sometimes called New Technology
File System. If you are familiar with using
paper files, the same concept applies here.
NTFS is the way in which the operating system
(Windows NT, XP, etc) organizes the files on
the drive. NTFS is quite secure and robust. It
provides security by supporting access control
and ownership privileges, meaning you can set
permission for groups or individual users to
access certain files.

for your data. The partition for your programs
may be called PROGRAMS C:. The drives
volume name is then PROGRAMS C:.
