Re: Windows XP Home Edition SP2 NTFS

Hi

Check your hard drive before converting to see if there are any errors on
it. Personally I've had no problems converting from FAT32 to NTFS.

Thanks.

Can you see any problems with converting from FAT32 to NTFS using Windows
XP
Home Edition?

In particular, I'm concerned about the hard drive becoming faultly i.e bad
sectors etc and any slow issues?

Thanks, Jot

Yes - NTFS is more secure than FAT32.

I have just converted from FAT32 to NTFS.

Does Windows XP Home Edition SP2 support and recommend the use of NTFS?

Thanks to all those who reply.
