Hi to all,

In one of yuor (many)articles, "NTFS or FAT32: Which Should I Choose?", reads ...( :huh:

)

....You will also want to use FAT32 when you have multiple operating systems on one computer...

Is that ture?
I mean, I have Window 7 as a "main" OS on the PC, and because I am preparing myself for the CompTIA A+ I need and decided to install Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

Is a requeriment to have FAT32 as a file system, should I give up my folder security and somethings more?

Pleas, help on this.

If all your operating systems utilise NTFS, then there would be no call for FAT32, unless you wanted a FAT32 partition for research (eg examine the file storage system with a hex editor). If your multi-boot included any OS like Win9x/ME or Linux, then you either will need (Win) or may choose (Linux) to have at least one FAT32 partition.
