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 Data 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
