NTFS and FAT 32 on two drives with XP

[Kim]

Can I run FAT 32 on my 30 gb maxtor drive and NTFS on my new 80 gb WD drive
both with XP. The 80 gb is the master and the 30 is the slave drive. Or
should I convert the slave drive to NTFS as well. Also my new WD drive is 8
mb cache and the 30 gb is 2mb. Will there be any conflicts there?

Any advice appreciated.
Kim

You can mix and match FAT32 and NTFS drives in XP. It
doesn't matter if they are the same, or master/slave.

The cache won't cause any conflicts. The drive with 8 MB
cache will perform better. Those special edition drives
are sweet.
