    You should get a new computer guy if he just says your pc is in bad shape.
    signature removed, check the boardrules.

    Tell him your not giving him any money.

    All you need to do is during the install make sure you tell it to do a format (not a quick one) to your partition and make it NTFS

    You most likely did this

    FAT32 isn&#39;t that bad for win XP just NTFS gives you more options like compression and larger hard drives

    I just converted my drive to NFTS one day. I didn&#39;t have problems. I have reinstalled but I think the computer guy is lying. If you reformated cleanly you should be fine.
