FAT32 FILE SYSTEM

[RICK]

WHEN I INSTALLED WINDOW XP IT SETUP THE SYSTEM IN A FAT32
FILE SYSTEM

I THINK THERE IS A BETTER FILE SYSTEM THAT USUALLY SETS
UP WHEN INSTALLING XP IT DID NOT DO THAT WHAT CAN I
DO TO CHANGE THAT OR IS FAT 32 THE BEST SYSTEM

I KNOW SOME ABOUT COMPUTERS NOT A LOT


THANK YOU
RICK

Hi Rick,

First please use regular letter size, there is no need to yell.

Second "better" filesystem is called NTFS.
Third this is wrong NG: you should ask this question in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

Best regards,
Slobodan

RICK,

You have probably missed that but one of the first choices you have to make
when you install (or upgrade to) Windows XP is the file system. FAT(32) or
NTFS.

You can convert your drive(s) to NTFS now.
