Okay to all who have been talking about which is better FAT32 or NTFS i have found that they are very similair and what one lacks the other makes up for.
First is my PC Specs
P3-500Mhz Geniune Intel
Seagate UATA/66 8.4gb
Quantum Fireball UATA/66 17gb
64Mb SDRAM PC-100
Okay i have run windows 2k on a FAT32 partition for over 4 months and just a couple days ago i decided i wanted some more security so i formated my dual booting win2k/win98 system to the following
DISK1 8.4gb
Primary - Win2k - 3gb
Primary - Win98 - 1gb
Logical - 4.4gb
- Games - 4.4gb
DISK2 17gb
Logical - 17gb
- Files - 17gb
Now as i have run it for a couple days now it seems to me that NTFS is much faster over FAT32 when running Win2k. And the security helped a bit aswell. So what im saying is in my experience NTFS is a good file system if you want speed and security. FAT32 has speed almost as fast as NTFS but doesnt have the security. Its up to you whether you spend your time reformatin to get NTFS if you really want security. Just leave it as FAT32 if you dont care about file security
