Michael,
Dont' be so afraid of NTFS. It's something that goes on in the background. Also, when an NTFS machine needs to talk to a FAT32 machine, each knows how to talk to the other.

>>Michael,
>>You already have good advices. Few additions :
>>-Think of NTFS soon. It's not true you would have problems connecting from win9x machines. I have 2 partitions where one is FAT32 and win9x installed (dual boot). Sensitive data is on NTFS. I can connect to any one from anywhere (including remote from notebook -win9x- that's generally at home). NTFS is for security + its cluster size is 512K by default (1/8th of min possible on FAT32).
>>-Write caching on win2K is 'reset' to ON with each boot. It's a bug or feature of win2K and you better set it manually to OFF on each boot.
