Mike, I used FAT16 for the 95A, FAT32 for the Me -
Wanted to be able to access the new OS partition from the backup of the old OS Wheee! just look at that yellow stripe NTFS - no reason not to use it No reason to use it unless you need to handle files bigger than 4GB (DVD ISO's perhaps) Don't forget to consider turning off content indexing - its effectively the same as the old fastfind/findfast. but you get to it via the partition properties I try to limit my partitions to 50GB approx for NTFS and 30 for FAT32 It makes space usage monitoring/control, backup defrag and general partition management etc. easier OS partition needs about 12Gb free space if you are playing with DL DVD's - so make that partition 20GB + JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 9:55 AM Subject: Re: Win2K over 98SE > Sounds good.
