    Windows 10 is confused about what formatting is required NTFS vs FAT32


    Windows 10 would not load on my windows tablet. Every time I tried turning it on, it said Windows needs to be repaired and said that File:\WINDOWS\System32\driver\sdbus.sys is missing.

    what is the difference in fat32 and NTFS HDD formating???

    NTFS is far superior when it comes to data safety, as when it comes to performance with large files.

The FAT32 drive will be screwed while the NTFS drives requires a run of chkdsk at the most. I wouldn't safe anything I wish to keep on a FAT32 disk.
