Now the question in my befuddled mind is: "Is it possible just to wipe the hard drives and install FAT32, rather than NTFS?!" I have a 20GB hard drive C for programs and XP. The 30GB is for Poser stuff. What would I really lose if I dumped NTFS? I have a little home network going, but that's just for convenience sharing the internet and printer. I don't need a bunch of security stuff that will bite me in the ass. I could use some real insight here. Ron
