Windows NT Does Not Provide Floppy Drive Security by Default (104193)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q104193 SUMMARY
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.
