Some advice please.
I have 2 hard drives each partitioned
into 3.
All are NTFS.
Will I get any improvement if I convert
them to FAT32 (except C Drive) ?
I am the only user of this PC.
 
Well, I wouldn't ponder this for too long, because you cannot convert from
NTFS to FAT32. You convert ~to~ NTFS but not from it.

If you could convert from NTFS to FAT32 (e.g. by using
PQMagic) then you would find no difference in performance
unless you tried to access folders with > 5000 files inside.
In such cases FAT32 will perform twice as fast as NTFS.
