A questão
SuperUser reader 09stephenb quer saber se o Windows 8 precisa ser instalado em uma partição NTFS:
Does Windows 8 need to be installed on an NTFS partition, or does it just like to be on one? If I installed it on an NTFS partition and then copied all of its files over to a FAT32 partition, would it work or would it throw a tantrum and refuse to work?
Uma partição NTFS é necessária para o Windows 8 ou não?
A resposta
Os contribuidores do SuperUser, kinokijuf e LPChip, têm a resposta para nós. Primeiro, kinokijuf:
Windows NT 6.x can not be installed on FAT or FAT32 partitions because they make extensive use of advanced features of the NTFS file system, such as hard-links and junctions.
Besides, allowing users to install on FAT and FAT32 partitions in previous versions provided a false sense of security since these file systems do not support access control. Remember, one of the much-touted features of Windows Vista was increased security.
Seguido pela resposta do LPChip:
Windows Vista and higher will not install on a FAT32 partition and can only be installed on an NTFS partition. This is probably due to the use of symlinks (which are not supported in FAT32).
As for copying files, that is a no. Windows needs to be installed in order for the installer to configure your boot order properly. Just copying files will not do it.
