NTFS also has more security than fat32 and i believe is generally less suspectible to getting corrupt. Heres a link with a little bit more information about the difference between the two http://windows.about.com/library/weekly/aa001231a.htm hope it helps.

Ice Czar's parade of links!
A brief synopsis: NTFS - more robust than FAT32, offers more security features, and unlike FAT32, which is inefficient with partitions > 32 GB (or so), NTFS 5.1 can support up to 2 Terabytes for a partition without much performance loss. However, NTFS is not natively compatible with Windows 9x/ME.
