You will have to remain with FAT32 on the drive unless or until you upgrade to Windows XP. NTFS does offer some advantages compared to FAT32, especially in the area of stability and self-repair capabilities. However there is a bit of a downside in that there is not much available in the way of repair or recovery utilities should disaster strike. So with NTFS you are much less likely to have a problem, but if you do have one then it is much more difficult to recover files from a crashed/smashed/trashed NTFS partition. Hope this explains the situation. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
