Re: Switching fat32 to NTFS and Back Again

ATM

We do that because our systems work with SP2 installed, evidence enough that
it can be done.. I have a good few clients, not one of them close to
computer literate that have SP2 installed and no problems.. now you have
evidence from both sides of the court..

The major cause of failure is the component between the chair and the
keyboard.. it has always been this way..

Do you use Nero, or something else to burn CDs?.. how old is it?.. might it
be an issue with the burning program, and not Windows, hence the complete
lack of anything in MS KB's?.. can we assume that you have contacted the
program originator's website?.. does it happen with ALL makes of CD-R?..

Today Ken Blake, MVP commented courteously on the subject at
hand

You don't have to convince me. I'm with you on this.

See my reply in this thread. You don't have to convince
me, but seeing is believing. Again, I thought the NTFS
transfer rate was fine, I just couldn't get the contents
of a folder most of the time in under a couple of minutes!


Then something was seriously wrong. I can't tell you what
your problem was, but I can tell that it was *not* the
difference between NTFS and FAT32.

That's really useful, Ken. Care to expand on that? I /know/
something was wrong, but couldn't find out anything about it.

I've got another SP2 problem that I personally know others have,
namely that it crashes immediately trying to read a CD-R or DVD-
R burned with UDF. Again, there is no-thing in the MS KB, and no
real help Googling, except that I can find pleas of help from
other UDF sufferers.

I don't want to go excessively over-the-top here, but whenever
somebody says there's a problem with SP2, the MVPs and plenty of
others come out of the woodwork with "your system is screwed up
or you don't know what you're doing". That's fine. My system may
well be messed up and I admit to being no expert. But, it
doesn't help me one iota for people to make sweeping
generalities, as you did. So, I just suck it up and keep looking
for help on my own rather than subject myself to flames on the
MS NGs.
