- Windows NT currently does not provide security for floppy disk drives.
- Because the NTFS file system is too large for floppy disks, they can
- only use the FAT file system, which is not able to support the
- security features of Windows NT.
-
- You can prevent the transfer of critical data from an NTFS partition
- of your hard disk drive to a floppy disk by denying users access to
- the directory that contains that information.
