Ed, many thanks for the reply.

I am now seriously thinking of moving my whole hdd over to NTFS. I can't think of any software I use that requires FAT32 exclusively. The only reason why I have 2 FAT32 partitions (c: and e:) is that was how the manufacturer set it up before delivery.

The main reason why I moved from NTWS to W2K (apart from an excuse to upgrade my pc <g>) is that I wanted an OS that could double-up as the family pc (ie. high-power games for the children) and my business pc, without requiring dual boot-up. W2K solves this problem, but I'll have to make sure the games will work under NTFS (they require DirectX 7, which was not supported by NT) before I take the big step. Apart from that, there seems to be no reason to keep FAT32 at all!

Any further comments would be appreciated.

Regards,
Alan
