Types of file system

It is basically of 3 types:-
  • Disk
  • Network
  • Special purpose
 FAT32(File Allocation Table) and NTFS(New Technology File System)  are the types of Disk file System. FAT32  was used in DOS and Windows 98 but with the launch of Windows XP a new file system “NTFS” was introduced which is used widely because it provides high security and better performance.
