I've just got myself hold of a new hard drive & I'm about to install Windows XP pro on it. Is it best to format & partition this using NTFS or Fat32 File System. Any advatages over each other? Security Issues?
 
I have formatted my hd in NTFS. I like ntfs alot better cause it automatically logs the abunch of the main parts u need in start up and stuff. And doesnt crash. I say if your gonna install xp go with ntfs.
 
NTFS all the way...more secure..plus, when you crash (and you will), no more of that stupid Scandisk stuff! I think it seems faster that FAT32, but that's just me.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
