If you choose to do so, you can format up to an 8 gig NTFS partition and
install NT to that partition during setup, no problem.

Converting FAT16 Partitions to NTFS also seems to render the NTFS
partition a little less stable than a partition originally formatted with
NTFS.

Good NT info site:

NOTE: NT does not come with a defragmentation utility out of the box ,
you must (i repeat) must get a third party utility to defrag NTFS
partitions and defrag them every day!
NT w/NTFS will fragment files like nothing you've ever seen.
