Yeah, i agree, NFTS definetly is better.
I use win2k pro because my 500mhz pc works faster with it, but would upgrade if I could. The downside to nfts is formatting, its so hard to do. Anyone how to format an nfts hdd?

I have XP pro on my 600mhz pc. It runs beautiful.

the Ntfs files system is far superior to fat 32
as for OS i like 2000 but xp is starting to get a bit better it will be ready for prime time soon and will prob be a better OS soon so go for it

ps be ready too fill ur hd with a bunch of junk XP is huge

Bottom line is that Win 2000 sux..you are better off with 98se and stay away from ME...Of couse XP is the best if you ask me.

Have used both FAT32 and NTFS with XP Pro. No discernible change in speed, but FAT32 does take a lot longer to defragment and needs doing more often.

I think you don't know the difference between win 2000 en win Me: win Me sucks, win 2000 rules. It's the most stable version of windows ever...

A little trick I've used to format is to install the drive in another computer as a slave ..Just right click on the drive ,select format and away you go..

FAT32 is approximately 10% faster than NTFS for digital audio (recording, sequencing..)..

Other than that, NTFS is probably better...it can recognize larger files, and is also more secure...
