Maybe the download is off-line for mainanence.
Yes, when you install fresh XP will display a list of existing partitions
which are candidates for the install. Make sure that the partition you
wish to use is labeled C:, other wise you can end up with a Windows
install on another driver letter. (Not a big issue, but C:\ is preferred)
Once you select a partition/disk to install to, XP should present a
screen with format options. ( If it doesn't, do not continue). There are
two options for NTFS, regular & Quick. A Quick format is faster
but doesn't do bad sector checking. For more info, read this page:

I'm not aware of NTFS5, If you are using a Slipstreamed SP2 disk,
you'll be formatting in the latest iteration of NTFS available.
I'll go back and research for a few minutes, Perhaps NTFS is known
by two differing version identifiers. As far as I'm aware XP's NTFS
is version 3.1 unless you are referring to the Windows identifier 5.1
which also is the version of the Ntfs.Sys driver.

Hi,
Currently I have XP + SP2 Slipstreamed Installed on my PC. But I will Again
go for XP with SP1. Becacuse My PC Has became Very Slow now a days. I have
Another Post in the Same Group for that, That you can Search with Subject
"Problem with XP + SP2 - Just 3 days BACK" or by my name.
Earlier My PC was Booting in Just 10-15 or Max 20 Secs. Now it takes 1 min
and 20 Sec. to display the Logon Dialog. SO Planing to Go Back.
Thanks

It well known that many people call NTFS by the OS it was introduced with. 5.1 = 3.1 in common usage.

Prabhat said:Hi Shenan,
Some time I also use Defragmentor of "Sytem Mechanic" of iolo.
Can you tell me which one is good?
As per me I found the Diskeeper is Better then the Sytem Mechanic, as this
has got Lots of Options to defrag. What is your suggestion?
Thanks
Prabhat
Before you settle on a defragger, I urge you to try Raxco's PerfectDisk -
http://www.raxco.com/ - vastly superior to the builtin defragger, and
has many advantages over its competition - particularly as to speed,
completeness, and ability to defrag directories, all of which will help
your operational speed and your boot speed.

I also like PerfectDisk 6.0 but it does not seem to be compatible with my
new Intel 925X chipset system. If I install it and defrag the swap file
offline, I get numerous BSODs - some of which point to a corrupted swap
file. As long as I do not install PerfectDisk 6.0, my system is rock solid.
I have tried it with both SP1 and SP2 with the same BSODs. I used
PerfectDisk 6.0 on my old Intel 865 system with no problems.

I never defrag my swap file - just delete it and let XP recreate it if I
think it ever needs it - probably very rare. Perhaps Greg Hayes will have
some thoughts on this one...

Hello,
I got my information from http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/ntfs/ver.htm
Perhaps someone from Microsoft can please verify this?
PS: That article ^ on NTFS is really good if you've got an hour to browse
through it.

The XP clean installation format will always format the drive in the *latest
version* of the NTFS system files so you needn't worry about that (it
doesn't matter whether you're using a slipstreamed Sp1 or Sp2 disk). The
fact is Win2K ran NT5 which was substantially different from what was
offered in NT4 (Encryption support for instance). And Windows XP runs
something that is similar to the 2K version only that certain security
enhancements and bugs have been ironed out.
While formatting from the XP installation, cluster size is always 4K by
default which is the best actually. Anything less than 4K and NTFS
compression will not work on the drive. "convert" command will yield 512k
clusters so don't use that. The only other option to get 4K clusters is to
convert using Partition magic 7+.

Hi Dilip,
Thanks for the Information. The info about the Clean Install and Clustue
Size is Helpful to me.
I wanted to go for a "Convert". But Now I will not Opt for that, Instead I
will Do A Clean Install.
And Aslo I have Partition magic 8.0. So I think I can also get that with
that.
Thanks

The difference is with Partition Magic, you won't have the pains of a clean
installation - Like setting up the computer preferences just as you like
them. With a clean install you lose everything and start from scratch.
I've used PM7 Pro for conversion without any problems. Hope this helps.
