NTFS is the NT (as in Microsoft) File System. First came fat (ms dos < 6.0), then Fat 16 (windows 95), and then Fat 32 (windows 98, windows me, 2000). They didnt specifically go one after another, NTFS existed in NT 3.0 way back when, anyways, NTFS has basic and advanced (basic goes to 2tb on a single disk, thats the max) and Dynamic NTFS can goto 64terabytes, RAW NTFS can goto 3 exabytes. NTFS's most relevant function was the ability to set security on files, to protect the data.
Anyways, probally too much information. But now you know, in all honesty, their wasnt even a SATA interface before in even FAT32, and not in NTFS 3.0. (SATA devices started with the release of XP and NTFS 4.0+). Your best bet at getting a OS that see's your sata chipset and rom drive with the most reliability, NTFS makes the most sense.
Back to your question. THERE is no such thing as making a NTFS bootdisk with windows like the old days of earlier format disk options. ntfs4dos is a utility that takes the minimal boot files and information to create a NTFS Bootable CDROM or USBKey. Do a google search for the utility and get some info from the site. It might help to understand what what the utility is really intended to do is boot a slim version of the XP file system with enough data in memory perform basic file system commands to read/write to disk bypassing file security native in NTFS, and execute programs and accessing devices (dvd rom, usb disk, cd rom, Hard Disk Drives).
hope that helps...
