I'm not sure should this question be here, but I have heard that FAT32 is faster than NTFS...is this true? How I can convert my filesystem from NTFS to FAT32?

Is NTFS faster than FAT32? The jury is out. I find NTFS faster - other say FAT32.
How do you convert from NTFS to FAT32? Reformat the drive.

DONT Reformat your drive!
Just go to a dos box and type
convert *:\ fs:ntfs
where * is the drive letter you want to convert.

Well, that depends on your hard drive...for me NTFS was slower. My HD made much more loading than FAT32. FAT32...I recommend it to gamers. NTFS might be good for a SCSI hard drive, but not an IDE. I have a Western Digital 8 GIG IDE, which runs slow in NTFS, but faster in FAT32. I would not recommend installin NTFS because it is hard to return to FAT32 from Win 2000. I had that problem.
