definitely NTFS. Fat32 is already quite old.

Go NTFS, has more support and a lot more features.

NTFS all the way its faster and more secure! and I think its required for Windows XP

Yes, it is required for XP to be installed on that drive. however you can use for example a slave drive running FAT32, however I wouldnt.

Ah I see

 

[Tech N9ne]

yeah i was told NTFS to

Yeah, like uid=[0] says, you can use a FAT32 drive in slave for like programs and that if need be.

What you can't do however, is run like Windows 98 on one drive, and have an NTFS partitioned drive running as slave. it just won't see it.

Thats a problem I had, when my sister still had Windows ME, on FAT32 and me and my brother both had XP.
