NTFS I think also uses smaller allocation chunks (clusters maybe.. can't remember the term) so its more space efficent I think - from what I've read this efficiency is more noticable with bigger HDDs. And yeap, the biggest thing I've noticed is that win98 can't see a ntfs formatted harddrive.. which is mainly only an issue if you've networked xp and win98 computers together.

At home, my XP machine has 2 hard drives in it - one is an ntfs HDD (the main drive) and the other is an old fat32 HDD (for backup purposes) and it all works fine. I have had no problem with taking things from the fat32 drive and copying to the ntfs drive. I do know that some old old games programs that I have and used to run on win98 don't seem to want to run on xp. However, I think there's a way in xp that you can run a program in an old legacy type operating system shell... but not too sure about that as I haven't tried it yet.
