First I want to say how much I appreciate your partition manager. I have used many other software to try to move partitions around and they never quite work for me.

  3. NTFS filing system has a better self-healing ability than FAT32.
  4. NTFS provides smaller cluster size which can save more space for the user.
  5. NTFS lets users compress files and folders  individually so that the system won’t be slowed down by depending on partition  compressions.
