I'm setting up a XP Pro workstation for the first time (experienced with Win2k Pro). I have the physical drive partitioned into three logical drives. One will be reserved for the OS and possibly Office. What file system should I use when formatting that partition?
 
Windows runs best on a partition formatted NTFS.
