Hi everyone- can anyone help me understand the advantages and disadvantages of converting from FAT32 to NTFS in Windows 2K. I have a 60 GB hard drive, and things seem to be running slow under FAT32. What are the ramifications of changing to this format. I know that Floppy's can't be formatted to NTFS. DOes that mean I can't use a floppy disk on a machine that is using the NTFS file system? I am guessing that that is not the case, but if you know otherwise, please let me know. Also, will I be able to carry files from a computer using Fat32 to my NTFS machine and vice versa? Anything else worth mentioning that you can think of would be appreciated. Thanks! Aharon
