On Windows, install the database server on a New Technology File System (NTFS) or File Allocation Table (FAT) partition. However, you must store all dbspaces, blobspaces, and sbspaces in NTFS files or on a physical drive or logical disk partition. You should use NTFS files to simplify disk administration. For more information about NTFS files, see your Windows documentation and Disk Access on Windows.
If all of your partitions are FAT partitions, you need to convert at least one partition to NTFS. You can use the Windows convert utility, as the following example shows:
