Hello everyone
I have just setup Win XP and would like to use IIS web server to host a web site. I am using Win XP together with my old OS Win Me and so have stayed with the FAT32 file system. However I have heard that there are a lot of security flaws assosiated with IIS web server and therefore need a little advise before I begin using it.
What I'd really like to know is can I create an extra extended NTFS partition soley for use with the IIS web server for added security?
To be a little clearer: If I am currently running Win XP on a FAT32 partition is it also possible for Win XP to run programs (IIS web server for example) on another logical drive on a NTFS extended partition?
Any help greatly appreciated
