J jagguy May 7, 2005 #2 I have installed winXP again over my previous fat32 drive when I installed I selected the current fat32 partition of about 80G and then selected to convert to ntfs from installation as this was an option. should I have deleted the partition and simply selected it again with ntfs to format the HD without cluster problems. have I avoided the cluster problem from fat32 properly or do I need to re-install and delete all partitions
