I'll try to explain why NTFS is better.
FAT32 is basically one big extension after another. It evolved from the MS DOS file system.. which was kind of a "baby's first file system". It was limited. It didn't have very good fault protection .. it didn't handle fragmentation well at all. And it's block sizes were 4k I believe. Then FAT16 was born .. followed by FAT32 .. all extensions of eachother.
NTFS was written from the ground up. It is a journaled filesystem .. which means that every single operation that occurs is written in a journal. If the computer crashes and you lose data .. it can recreate blocks from the journal.
It also has other features such as file perrmisions .. and access control lists ... but you really only care about that if you're on a multi-user system.
NTFS is stable.. FAT is not. I really wouldn't trust my data on a FAT system at all.
