Hi,
I recently decided to convert my sons and daughters XP Fat32 to NTFS, seemed to run fine but came to a hurdle today.
You see, their PC's have only one hard-drive (normal you'd say), and I divide them into 2 partitions:
C: 75% - XP
D: 25% - Data
This way they can store their video clips, .mp3's, .doc's etc. to D
ata and XP gets installed to C:
When I do a fresh install, I only need to format on C: then install.
Booting from A:Floppy, Win9x/Win_Me obviously can't recognise/see NTFS partitions so therefore you can't format. I was too lazy to search the web for a solution, so I nutted the partitions and started again.
I doubt whether I'll ever use NTFS again.
(Yes, I do have WinInternals NTFS Pro but couldn't be bothered)
Cheerz
if u got the bootable CD of Windows XP, you got no worries
