Some advice please.
My PC runs Win98SE so I'm not familiar with Win XP Pro running on a friend's
machine. Is there a quick way to check which file system is in use, NTFS
or FAT32? I've found the NTFS page in the "Help" but must have missed where
to look after the OS installation has been completed.

Many thanks

Right-click on the drive (e.g., C:), then click on Properties.
