Microsoft upgraded NTFS to NTFS v5.1 for Windows XP.

Carey, I believe that is incorrect.
The version of the OS is 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600.
The version of NTFS with Windows XP SP2 is 3.1.


If you want to be sure...

Open a command prompt and type in:

fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c:

(assuming c:\ is your system drive.)
You'll see the version there.

Hope that helps you!

Microsoft upgraded NTFS to NTFS v5.1 for Windows XP.

Is that the version number you get when you run the fsutil command?
