I stuck to FAT32 for ages because I was reluctant to lose all my FAT32
tools - then I noticed that I had directory entires SPRINKLED throughout my
masses of free space on all drives, that XP's defrag and Norton Utilities
defragger wouldn't or couldn't tackle. So eventually I caved in, I
...BootitNG'd/" - shunt everything up a bit on each drive," or whatever it
was called,{WONDERFUL utility BootItNG},and converted all my drives to
NTSF - and installed and ran Diskeeper, {DisKeeper is FABulous}, and now I'm
an NTSF fan. ...even though NTSF seems in several ways to be several steps
backwards, while purporting to have wonderful possibilities for the future,
should those features ever find a use !!! ...rather - should software
developers ever develop uses for the new features in NTSF :-)

regards, Richard
