Actually, Richard, that is the version of Microsoft Windows Vista is, just
as Windows XP is "Microsoft Windows XP 5.1.2600".

The version of NTFS in a command prompt on my copy of "Microsoft Windows XP
5.1.2600" is apparently "3.1" ("three decimal one").

At least that is what "fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo C:" returns to me, right
below the line which reads "NTFS volume xxxxxxxxxxxx", and is labeled
"Version" (which I assume refers to the version of NTFS residing on
"NTFS volume xxxxxxxxxxxx").

If it refers to something else, please properly educate us? After all, you
are a "Microsoft MVP shell user", and should know what it refers to better
than most.


Perhaps, though, it returns something different to you?

Right clicking on the NTFS.sys file and going to the properties/version tab
shows this information:

6.0.5744.16384

Of course, it may just be a place holder till RTM and may change.

You are right. It is, in fact, version 3.1 as of this time. Had a brain fart
and was using file version.

My bad!

NTFS is the same in Vista as it was in XP, and 3.1
is the actual version number.

No change in NTFS, nothing to upgrade.

You guys will learn to take anything Donald
McDaniel says with a grain of salt, as most
anything he says is wrong.

Steve

Well the press does call it 5.1 so ..

... this was all gone over with Windows XP way back when.

You can call it 5.1. and you can call it 3.1. Heck, call it "FAT34", most
people won't know.
