Explanation

Windows 7 requires NTFS (New Technology File System) (B) on the system partition. NTFS supports essential Windows features such as file permissions, encryption (EFS), journaling, large file sizes, and volume shadow copies. FAT (C) and FAT32 (D) lack these security and functionality features, and Windows 7 will not install to a FAT/FAT32 partition. CDFS (A) is the CD-ROM File System used on optical discs and is read-only - it cannot be used as a target installation file system.
