I live in an american community in rural Mexico, and a bunch of us use
WinXP.
Power reliability is not good here, and we have outages, which not
infrequently
corrupt the WinXP NTFS filesystem. Sometimes we can recover using
tools
in the Recovery Console, and sometimes we have to reinstall.
I also use Linux with the Ext3 filesystem, and the problems described
above
do not occur with Linux.
So here's my question - I know winXP is old at this point. Is the file
system
in Windows 7 more resilient and/or easier to recover than that in
WinXP, given
the power outage problems described above? If so, can someone give me
a
link that describes the advances?
(As a footnote, I'm familiar with surge protectors, UPS's, voltage
regulators
and the like. Without going into all the detail, I'll say that these
systems are
practical in some cases here, but not in all cases.)
