NTFS is a new-generation file system which effectively protects data from being written into damaged sectors to avert data loss. This is the early error-warning function with which Windows XP users will be free from data storage in damaged sectors. By the way, how does NTFS early error-warning prevent data from being stored in bad sectors? It is really necessary for you to understand the principle before converting FAT to NTFS in Windows XP and this would be really rewarding.
  
  NTFS early error-warning resolves sector damage effectively
  On NTFS partition, the initial 16 sectors are boot sector storing partition boot code, and then the following sectors are Master File Table, MFT in short. If damaged sectors locate in MFT, NTFS intelligently moves MFT to other sectors, ensuring file system's normal use as well as Windows normal operation. On the contrary, the former FAT like FAT16 and FAT32 can only be fixed behind boot sector, which means that the whole file system will crash if sectors are damaged. Whereas, this intelligent method of moving MFT is not flawless in the event of error emergence in partition boot code pointing towards MFT. This means NTFS will fail to find MFT and popup error messages like "Disk is not formatted". In order to avoid such circumstance, a checking routine is included in partition boot code to be in charge of debugging.
  Through above explanation, you will find FAT and NTFS are two totally different kinds of file system and NTFS provide us with a complete solution to sector damage problem.
