leave the patrition using NTFS file
convert partition using NTFS
leave current system
all i want is to install xp and use it, i know partitioning a drive is splitting it up and i dunn really want to do that. so what should i pick->im thinking leave it alone but i really dont know much when it comes to this area
Do you want to install new? or keep your old files? I highly recommend installing fresh.

Am guessing there will be no problems but why not use Windows XP Pro?

NTFS does give a good file system...but it is not compatible with older versions of windows......so in a supposed crash of win xp- u will have to reformat all ur partitions and risk losing all data if u have to install an older version-like win98...
