alright, thanks. i have xp pro but that computer is a p1 200 with 32mb ram and 7gb HD so the most i can run is windows ME. NT might not even work.

a filesystem...
fat
fat32
and ntfs are all file systems that are used to store data on the hard drive... they are basically the way that data stored on the hard drive is organized and stuff (sorry i dont know the exact definition of it)
fat was used in dos and all other os (well not all but the windows ones) until later in windows 95, and some of 98, then fat32 was used. In nt\2000\xp u can use ntfs which is more secure and reliable than fat32, and adds more security feaures which are available in xp (mayeb the others dont remember) like encrypting data.
btw, u cant format ntfs form dos u need to use fdisk or another partitioning program.

i just remembered i have 98 and 98se, is there a difference. when i use f-disk is it better to partition c drive and use fat 16 i think or use the whole thing running fat 32 and a small drive.
would my good computer with win xp home use fat 32? isn't there a HD limit for fat 32? i have a 120 gbd drive?

umm oh yeah i frogot for fat32 i think there is a limit of 32gb unless u partition it then it can be up to 2 terabytes i think which is a lot of space...
if u install windows 98 do the se version its more well supported at teh moment (more programs will run on it) and it is more stable imo. Oh and for sure use fat32 if ur gonna install windws 98 and just partition the drive if u have too.
If u install windows xp home or pro or whatever then u can use ntfs.
