Reformatting and NTFS

jwl812
Can I just reformat a FAT32 drive and install Windows XP fresh using NTFS? Someone told me I would have to erase the disk first. Since formatting doesnt erase the format, info and partitions a possible conflict could arrise from a FAT32 disk being reformatted with NTFS over it.

this is bull****

tem0
Developers can make Win9x games compatible with Win2K with ease. It's absolute crap that they don't because appearantly Win2K is a 'business o/s', well guess what it's a business o/s because it doesn't crashed every ****ing hour.

Need to find an old Tip for WinXP

evil Homer
A few months ago (or last year) there was a registry edit to increase the amount of bandwidth that XP reserves for itself (Like 20%). Now, since I had used that edit, I have had to reinstall but can't remember what the reg edit was.

CDRW weirdness

Alien
Looks like I've developed another hardware prob, suddenly out of the blue. I have a Lite-On LTR-12101B CDRW, which AFAIK is supposed to use UDMA/33. Now all of a sudden it's on PIO mode, & my CPU useage goes to 100% when I do anything with the drive, whether burning a CD, or just transferring data from CD to HDD.

CDRW problems with XP

areid
