    Is it usual for C: Drive to have a section that is NTFS


    I recently noticed that part of my C: is NTFS and that when it crashes - it always seems to run a Check disk. I am unsure if this is usual.

    I have not touched the Computer management - but thought for an explanation - I would upload a picture of my Partition Wizard as of today.

    I am currently transferring everything onto this computer as my other computer Video card went and could not recover anything. Have learnt to use the cloud method. Very expensive lesson.

    Also if I have too many windows open - MS Word and Google Chrome then my computer goes very unstable.

    I know I ask silly questions - I apologise.

    NTFS is the standard file system


    NTFS is the standard file system that Windows has used for many years. :)

    NTFS supports enormous file sizes.
    In the W8 series the maximum files size is ~256TB.

    FAT is the system that preceded NTFS.

    FAT32 only supports file sizes of up to ~4GB.

    Windows 7 can only be installed on an NTFS partition.

    Why couldn`t you just replace the video card ? Or was it the motherboard video that went bad, which is a little unusual ?

    It looks correct.

    Go over your install with Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7
    starting with the hardware tests.
