I have 2 drives, both have 2nd. partitions (data only) which are FAT32.
I plan on converting them to NTFS, mainly to speed up defrag time, but am a
bit curious as to what XP Help says (or doesn't say), quote -
"This kind of conversion keeps your files intact (unlike formatting a
partition). If you do not need to keep your files intact and you have a
FAT32 partition, it is recommended that you format the partition with NTFS
rather than convert from FAT or FAT32."
Now, it would help if they clarified their recommendation to help anyone
make a decision which way to go, so what are they talking about?
