into FAT32. Whereas the other direction is "OK".

I didn't mean converting to FAT32. We had a similar
discussion recently. some people think it's nuts, but I
like to use FAT32 data partitions with Win7+ or
Linux, rather than wrestle with file restrictions I
have no use for. So I'm not saying convert to FAT32.
I'm just saying have storage area that's FAT32.

For the data partitions I don't see any advantage to using FAT32, as I
haven't run into any ownership or permissions issues with the "data". So
the problem is not with the "data", but with the system files and folders
access, the stuff residing on the C: partition. And, of course, the
registry.
