Many parameters of the computer depend on the file system of the hard disk. For example, if you are going to download capacitive files (more than four gigabytes) from the Internet, then your hard drive must be running NTFS. Also, the speed of writing files to the hard disk and the speed of copying information from partition to partition depends on the type of file system.
Necessary
- - PartitionMagic program;
- - TuneUp Utilities 2011 program.

Using this method, you can find out the type of file system regardless of your version of Windows. Open My Computer. Click on the hard disk partition with the right mouse button. A context menu will appear. From this menu, select Properties. Then look for the "File system" line. The file system type of this hard disk partition will be written next to it.
